Cross-system collaboration is critical for every student. We hold ourselves to a high standard to ensure adults in young person’s life are working in concert. Our vision is that students have well-coordinated education teams that are:
Informed and knowledgeable about key areas influencing the student and their education, including the student’s educational rights, trauma-informed practices, and school policies and procedures;
- Coordinated, with a shared understanding that education is an integral part of the student’s well-being;
- Active and involved in each student’s life, regularly and systematically checking in and connecting with each student;
- Positioned to respond quickly to early warning signs such as discipline issues, incomplete coursework, or withdrawal from school;
- Asset-based, holding high expectations for the youth, consistently recognizing progress, and building upon strengths;
- Reliable, and demonstrating follow through with team members who do what they say they will.
