A Recipe for Integrated Student Support

Procure Key Ingredients & Your Secret Sauce

Designing and implementing an integrated student support program that effectively serves the whole child is truly a craft – part art and part science. Key ingredients are essential for success: a timely and efficient way to understand a student's personal goals and needs across numerous facets, and a means to address those diverse needs in an integrated manner that feels seamless and contextualized for the student, their family, and ideally, your staff. Our two presenters have each implemented robust student support programs utilizing such essential tools and systems, but with a distinct flavor that reflects their school's culture. Both have leveraged technology to proactively solve problems before they become crises, freeing up capacity to tackle major issues when they arise.

Whether you are still crafting your integrated student support team or are already deep in the process, you will hear what our panelists consider essential ingredients, how they procured them, how and when they added those ingredients to the mix, and the critical role of regular assessments. Next, you’ll hear about some of their unique variations focused on student well-being, tailored to meet the specific contexts of each community. These include deep integration with restorative practices, a foundational commitment to student health and wellness, and a dedication to elevating transparency and trust among school staff and the broader community in service to well-being for all. This webinar will encourage you to consider the key ingredients you have, those you still need to procure, and what constitutes your special approach given your school culture, vision, and the unique capabilities of your broader team.
