Faculty+Friend+Program

﻿ The Faculty Friend program is one possible intervention chosen by the SAP team to support a student's affective needs. A faculty member is assigned to that child and maintains one contact per week with that student on a mutually agreed upon time between the mentor and the classroom teacher. **﻿What does a faculty friend do with the student he/she is assigned to?** A faculty friend provides many avenues of support depending on the child's needs. Some common examples of a faculty friend's responsibilities include the following:
 * Develop a rapport with the student and discuss any school problems he or she may be experiencing
 * Meet with the student at least once a week
 * Congratulate the child when he or she does a great job on a test or makes good behavior choices
 * Stress the strengths of the student, as well as positive aspects
 * Listen attentively to the student
 * Be supportive and provide positive reinforcement
 * Have fun
