Specialized instructional support personnel (SISP) are the non-teaching professionals who help students stay healthy and ready to learn. The group includes school counselors, psychologists, social workers, and nurses, along with speech-language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, behavioral analysts, and art, dance/movement, and music therapists. This community brings SISP together from across the country to share resources and work through the day-to-day challenges of supporting the whole child.
In this community you can:
- Trade lesson materials, screening tools, and intervention strategies across specialties
- Ask questions and get answers from colleagues in your exact role
- Keep up with policy, funding, and staffing changes that affect SISP
- Find professional development made for support staff, not only classroom teachers
Most SISPs are the only person in their role in a building, sometimes across several schools. This community gives you colleagues who understand the caseload. Post a question in the discussions section, share something that worked, or browse resources other members have contributed.
