Through Collaboration for Kids you will learn a new structure for reaching out to the high-risk
child who is "unavailable to learn" because of issues outside of school, and you will find new
skills for engaging parents in their child's education and social growth. Documented
results obtained from the Collaboration for Kids team approach are significant and listed below:
- Corrected absenteeism/truancy
- Continued academic progress
- Improved test scores
- Improved behaviors
- Better use of community services
- Stabilized child and family
Through stabilizing the child of concern, all classmates receive the benefit of more teaching and learning
time, thus increasing academic success.
Collaboration for Kids answers the questions:
- Who is the "unavailable child?"
- What strategies can I use to help this child?
- How do we engage parents while working with this initiative?
- What tools do we need to correct truancy issues?
- How does Collaboration for Kids improve test scores?
- Will this initiative take too much of my time?
- How does this initiative help me?
- How do we engage community agencies in a team effort?
The one-day workshop offers an overview that answers the previous questions, discusses a
renewed concept of collaboration and team action, and answers the questions, "How does the
Collaboration for Kids initiative get started, and how does it relate to academic progress?"
|
The two-day training offers the content overview of Day One answering the above questions,
as well as presenting the research, procedures, team strategies, team building, start-up policies,
and assistance to personalize and build a Collaboration for Kids initiative to fit your schools and
