D1: Collaborative Response Sustainability Practices Within Wetaskiwin Regional Public Schools

Focused on a practical approach that provides clear pathways to support the continued system wide commitment and utilization of Collaborative Response, this session will review the journey of implementation, and the ongoing refinements of the system wide implementation of Collaborative Response within WRPS. The team will engage in an in-depth share of the current practices developed to support the sustainability of Collaborative Response structures, which includes empowering school administrators with a Collaborative Team Meeting structure monthly to assess and address key areas of concerns. Building, strengthening and ensuring that every administrator has a team is integral to ensuring there are impactful instructional leaders in every school in WRPS.
