Some students require intensive individualized support and this is when the Case Consult Team goes to work. When we meet to discuss the needs of one student, identifying effective processes and structures for this team is essential. In this workshop, Lorna will reveal 6 considerations for managing and operationalizing case consult teams with particular attention to the involvement of parents and external partners.
After your continuum of supports has been established, the continual refinement is necessary to ensure this document is living and having direct impact on your Collaborative Response. The narrowing of Tier 1 practises provides the opportunity for every teacher in every classroom to establish common practices for all students as well as create a common understanding of those practices.
In this on-demand workshop, Lorna will share 5 considerations for refining Tier 1 supports to establish your big rocks that form common practises across the school.
A continuum of supports is a robust resource to inform collaborative conversations and articulate supports to be considered when responding to the needs of students. Although the development of a continuum starts with the simple question “What do we do when a student struggles with reading/writing/numeracy/wellness?”, its construction is never a one-time activity. As a school (or district), a continuum of support is a living document that is constantly evolving and consistently being used by staff, both in collaborative conversations and individual programming.
In this on-demand workshop, Lorna will share 10 considerations; five strategies for refining your continuums of supports and five ideas for utilizing your continuums.
Mark Twain once said, “Data is like garbage. You’d better know what you’re going to do with it before you collect it!!”
Having a clear plan for the collection and utilization of data and evidence to inform next steps is critical for educational organizations. Without direct alignment to key priorities and a clear idea of how it is being used to inform our responses, data can at best be overwhelming and at worst, be distracting us from the work we are doing to ensure student success.
Without a plan, we run the risk of confusion and frustration with our staff teams related to how the data and evidence can truly impact our Collaborative Response
