Strategies for Behavioral, Advocacy, and Partnership

In collaboration with the Behavior Barriers Team, we were able to design a series of trainings focused on providing support to parents/guardians in having an open dialogue with their child’s teacher around having a better understanding of student behavior and the school system overall. These trainings will equip parents/guardians with the knowledge and tools needed to become their student’s primary advocate throughout their educational journey.
