English term or phrase: 'itinerant’ emotional support program
Hello colleagues

I would like to know the meaning of 'itinerant’ here,
For the first time, I saw this term.
I don't know if itinerant (emotion) means antsy feeling, or
if it means interactive support or stuff like that.

Would you advise me?

Kind Regards,

Mami

Explanation:
I would imagine that it's a program that moves from place to place to serve people in different locations.

Itinerant: "travelling from place to place."

agree  B D Finch: Yes, but I imagine that it must be the support that travels (i.e. the personnel providing the support), not the program.

Explanation:
That's what it looks like to me.
Some schools may have special needs students who need the teachers to come to them for whatever reason.

'visiting' or 'peripatetic' teachers
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itinerant_teacher


https://www.pcam.org/special-education/

These services are most often provided on an itinerant level with Emotional Support special education teachers available in each building.
Speech & Language Support services are available in all buildings and are typically provided on an itinerant level .


These teachers might also be known as visiting /peripatetic resource teachers See here (p 450):

And/or there may also be visiting experts going to schools

Yes, "itinerant" means to move around. In some of the links you see that itinerant teachers are just moving from building to building within a school rather than travelling from school to school

agree  Björn Vrooman: You get my vote because I think this is closer to what they write at https://www.sasd.us/Page/2969 It's not so much about moving from school district to school district but about doing something "beyond the general education classroom," as they put it.

  -> Thanks. It seems to depend on the district and/or school from what I've seen

agree  Tony M: Yes, I think Asker may be missing the point that, although sessions may be held in a specific classroom, they may also be held by a person / team that goes around — i.e. probably not a full-time programme in any one location.

  -> Thanks. Yes, it seems to depend on the district and/or school from what I've seen. In some schools the teachers just "travel" from building to building it seems (2nd link)

agree  B D Finch: Agree with Tony's comment above. The Asker's "This program is held in ONE classroom" does seem to show a lack of understanding about the difference between a programme and a session organised as part of a programme..

  -> Thanks. There may well be 1 room set aside in some schools for these sessions. I saw a great variety when I researched this. Main thing is that the teachers do the "travelling" around
