Overview
Join us to explore the difference between traditional expert models and newer building capacity models which include coaching and mentoring. Building capacity includes providing information to local staff and families in multiple formats in order to increase shared knowledge and deepen acceptance and understanding of student needs and solutions. This session will also help participants explore the system they already have in place and identify areas of strength and areas with potential for growth.Learning Objectives
- Compare/contrast three ideas of building capacity & expert models.
- Identify two procedural differences between both models.
- Analyze current system and create one suggestion of an initial building capacity implementation plan.
