Every Child Deserves a Team!
Ensuring success for all students is a moral imperative for all schools, but it takes a highly coordinated framework of structures and processes within a school to maximize the collective capacity of the team.
In this 2 hour on-demand, online workshop, you will learn:
The three foundational components essential to ensuring an aligned Collaborative Response in schools
How Collaborative Response can take your current Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and Response to Intervention (RTI) efforts to the next level
Workshop Overview
Come learn about Collaborative Response, an organizational mindset that involves some fundamental shifts for schools and districts, such as layering collaborative team structures, transforming how we talk about student needs, focusing on students close to meeting expectations through thoughtful organization of data and evidence and ensuring tiering of supports rather than students. Simple shifts that emerge through a focus on Collaborative Response and the good news is that some likely already exist in your building!
Numerous school and district examples, as well as access to a large number of resources, will be provided for school leaders wishing to join thousands of schools using Collaborative Response to ensure high levels of success for students and staff!
