This group serves to support the development of district and regional capacity related to the Mental Health Education. This includes sharing and discussing up-to-date information from the State Education Department. Additionally, the goal of this group is to develop collaboration between districts in the region to support high-quality K-12 Mental Health and Wellness instruction and support. It is recommended that districts send a team to the Leadership meetings that includes teacher leaders (elementary, middle and high school) , school counselors, special education staff, as well as building and district leaders.
The expectation for participating in this group is:
1. Attend all three meetings during the year.
2. Come prepared for the meeting by completing any personal learning required by the facilitator of this group
3. Work with your team to bring the learning from the meeting back to your district
4. Share learning from in-district implementation with other school districts
5. Designate or gain approval by your district to participate in this group
The formal meeting will occur in the morning. However, your district may ask your team to use the afternoon to develop a plan for implementing the learning from the meeting in your district. If your district asks this of you the meeting space will be available in the afternoon for use by those who wish to stay and work.
