Student Life Staff Checklist for Residential and After-School Programming

This checklist supports student life staff, the people who lead residential and after-school programming, in planning and reflecting on activities so they are purposeful and support students' growth. Before a shift, it prompts you to set a clear purpose, plan for engagement over supervision, and prepare to communicate directly in ASL as a language model. During the activity, it keeps the focus on student choice, leadership, clear ASL modeling, and a safe, welcoming environment. Afterward, reflection questions help you notice who was engaged and name one specific improvement to make next time.
