| Abstract: | Schools have a yearly rhythm--changing with the cycle and demands of the school calendar. There is the Season of Hope as the school year starts; then comes homework discontent, conferences of concern, grading and testing crises, newspaper attacks, worries about burnout, and the search for renewal. In keeping with all this, the material compiled here offers some ideas and aids that can be used to enhance support for students, their families, and the staff at school each month. There are also references and information on linking to other resources for more in-depth follow up. All school stakeholders, and especially student support staff, can play a major role in addressing cyclical school concerns. By doing so, it is hoped to increase the likelihood that schools will be better places for all who spend so much of their lives there. (Author) |
