Fostering Safe, Positive, Healthy, Culturally Competent, and Inclusive Learning Environments

In working with various districts and schools, Ed Directions has developed several proprietary systems that support student responsive schools. These systems enable us to:

• Collect data in order to identify students at-risk, identify the point of break down in the student’s work, establish the cause of the break down, and then develop a “targeted” intervention program.
• Perform culture audits/reviews that can be used to do pre- and post-intervention evaluations of district or school cultures and climates to assess the impact of a program or intervention.
• Design and manage observation checklists and data collection tools to observe the implementation of culture improvement plans and note the impact on students in classroom interactions.
• Create artifact checklists to follow the development and implementation of plans, policies, and programs at the district and school levels, and assess the focus of the artifacts collected as a part of the implementation process.
• Develop plans for “ad hoc” professional development that can be used to deal with individuals, a small group of teachers, or whole staff that are struggling with engaging “at-risk” students.
