Promising Practices Coalition Introduction

This event marks the first-ever joint meeting of three APS "Promising Practices" support groups, aiming to foster "seamless collaboration" to support the "whole child". The gathering provides an opportunity for the groups—Community School Impact Coordinators, Middle School Interdisciplinary Resource Teachers, and Student Success Systems (SSS) Resource Teachers—to learn about each other's frameworks and how to work together effectively. The Community School group is shifting its focus toward a "transformational strategy" centered on student outcomes, while the Middle School group is working to "reimagine our middle schools" through more cohesive teacher teams. The SSS group uses a holistic, data-driven approach to student success, and APS is noted as a national leader for scaling this system and pioneering its use in elementary schools. The ultimate goal of this collaborative effort is to ensure all students receive the support they need to be successful throughout their educational careers
