A new cohort for those who did not participate last year.
The New Hampshire Association of School Principals (NHASP) and the New Hampshire Association of Special Education Administrators (NHASEA) are proudly co-sponsoring a yearlong professional learning cohort intended to support the growing behavioral needs our schools are experiencing. The cohort will utilize a Multi-Tiered System of Support framework to assess, refine, and improve upon current behavioral and social emotional supports and practices.
The goal of the work will be to develop a thorough understanding of the research-based critical elements of MTSS B, be able to articulate how each element manifest at the optimizing level of implementation, ensure a clear vision and common understanding of the work, measure your districts practices on each of the critical elements, and develop action plans for next steps in implementation. The learning, assessment, and plan development will provide an opportunity to personalize the experience of each district team based on where the district is in their implementation of MTSS B.
Attendees are invited to bring a district, or school- based team composed of general/special educators and leaders who have genuine interest in MTSS B, as well as the capacity to influence stages of implementation.
Dr. Heather Jennings, Assistant Director of Student Services with SAU 39 and the lead for MTSS implementation.

When it comes to school initiatives, more isn't always better.
Today's educators are buried under old practices, new ideas, and recommended initiatives. The problem? With such an abundance of strategies, it's hard to recognize what, if anything is working.
Before you're tempted to add just one more idea to the pile, take a step back-and an objective look-so that you, central office leaders, building leaders, and teachers can decide which practices to keep, which to modify, and which to eliminate all together.
Ineffective practices don't just waste teacher time; they can have a catastrophic impact on student progress Use deimplementation to shine a light on the path forward-one where teachers can focus on what works, and students can focus on learning.
