Priority Improvement Areas

Each participating school creates a climate and culture that promotes positive social,

emotional, physical and intellectual health and growth for students, resulting in a new

standard of practice understood and practiced by every member of the school

community.

DISTRICT SYSTEMS

Climate & Culture


Community Coalition

Each participating school implements a proactive system that identifies student needs in key

academic and non-academic areas, and connects them to both universal supports and

targeted interventions.

DISTRICT SYSTEMS

Climate & Culture


Community Coalition

Priority Improvement AreasEach participating district

integrates a range of resources from both within the schools and the larger community to

form a robust coalition of organizations and agencies that

convenes on a regular basis. The range of services includes prevention, enrichment, early

intervention, and intensive/crisis response

services.

DISTRICT SYSTEMS

Ensure safety Effectively manage behavior Teach and model strong social-

emotional skills Establish positive relationships with

families and the community Cultivate a climate of high expectations

and positive regard between leadership, staff and students

Example Model:

With additional connections to…

MTSS


Assess the well-being of all students Effectively implement policies or programs

to address the universal needs of the student body

Establish a structure/system to create, monitor and adapt success plans for students requiring targeted assistance

Provide the necessary training and support to ensure that staff:• Identify cues that a student needs

additional assistance• Respond appropriately to those cues• Are looped into the student success plan

when applicable

Example Models:

Rhode Island Shared Youth Vision:Collaborative Case Management

Community Coalition

Establish and coordinate partnerships to address student needs that cannot be met with internal resources

Monitor the effectiveness of those partnerships and make changes where necessary

Convene internal and external partners/stakeholders to share information, collectively problem-solve and collaborate on improvement efforts
