Divisional Collaborative Response for Schools
Over the past decade, we have seen Collaborative Response have the greatest impact in schools when school divisions or educational authorities adopt a systemic approach across all schools. Although there is no single formula for implementation, a multi-layered, contextually designed approach with integrated networking opportunities results in the most meaningful shifts in school and division-wide practices with long-standing effects.
