This partner's approach and services
How we address equity
How we build district capacity
How we provide curriculum-aligned PL
Workshops
Hands-on workshops are customized and personalized to support specific professional learning goals of the district/school with which Kids First partners. Collaborative and interactive sessions are created by our coaches and then discussed and approved by district/school instructional leadership to ensure goals are achieved.
Coaching
Coaches work side-by-side with administrators, general- and special-education teachers, district/school instructional coaches, and other personnel who impact KIDS. Before coaching begins, our team works collaboratively with the district/school to ensure goals are specific and measurable. Service reports are completed for each day worked to ensure coaching meets the specific goals.
PLCs
Kids First coaches are trained to lead Professional Learning Communities and other collaborative structures to affect instruction, ensuring both teacher and student growth. Our processes are based on research and developed and implemented to build capacity within instructional leaders. After each session, debriefing occurs to discuss goals met.
Consultations
Kids First professional consultants will provide a needs analysis for multiple areas, including instruction, SEL, equity, safety, RtI, and many more. After an extensive break-down by our expert consultants, a comprehensive presentation is created to provide recommendations and next steps to improve the specific area(s) of need.
