Ensuring coordinated and responsive supports beyond the classroom can’t happen by accident!
Bringing people together to determine “what should we do?” when a student is struggling in the classroom should not be a reactive process! Schools working to provide a Collaborative Response makes those conversations purposeful, coordinated and ongoing.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- Why school support teams are a critical layer of a school’s Collaborative Response
- 5 considerations for leaders when establishing school support teams, regardless of the size of your educational organization
In order to coordinate and optimize support beyond the classroom, the School Support Team is critical.
In this workshop, Lorna will reveal 5 considerations for every school trying to take their school support teams to the next level.
