BAISD will use 31n funding to strengthen school-based behavioral health assessment teams. We will use a training of trainers (TOT) model to help adults identify potential mental health issues, provide interventions, treatment , and support to students. Our “BAISD SEL/Whole Child Network” will run throughout the 2019-2020 school year and continue through the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. The “Behavioral Health Assessment Team” from each qualifying building will be required to be a part of this network.

If your school is selected, you will receive notification to register for this network.

This three-day series will provide "boots on the ground" professional learning and resources for coaching any teacher in any subject! Days one and two will be with Jill Jackson and Day three will be a collaborative follow-up session to continue the network of coaching support.

Participants will learn how to:

• prioritize support in coaching teachers
• develop specific coaching goals with teachers based on need
• learn how to build trust and relationships
• determine a schedule for collaboration and classroom support
• determine the best "coaching style" to use based on goals set
• develop a system to track progress using data and note taking
• follow an intentional process for pre-conference and debriefing to get the most from the coaching experience
