Supporting every child: Improving individual outcomes and supporting at risk youth Understanding that even with strong home-school connections some students will have higher needs, we are developing a new framework to support every student in their individual needs. Out of this need, RCSD Community Schools commissioned the Gardner Center Research Project on Student Study Teams (SSTs) 1. The products of this work will include supports that improve behavior, attendance, and academic outcomes. The RCSD SST Improvement Task Force2 partnered with the John Gardner Center to do a big scale research project to understand (diagnose) the processes and resources our different sites use within the SST process and how we allocate services and measure impact at individual, site, and district level. The work focused on identifying & addressing the gaps and implementing standardized processes on specific areas of improvement: the efficacy and efficiency of the referral process, communication between stakeholders, and follow-up to understand the effectiveness of the various interventions. Based on the findings the district leadership has started a broad conversation on the need to both make changes in the SST process as well as deepen our MTSS framework and integrate academic, behavior and social-emotional supports. MTSS implementation has started at all sites. 3. Stronger alignment for stronger impact. During the 19-20 school year, the Community Schools department, alongside district leadership and site leadership, partnered with the nationally recognized organization Communities in School to become an affiliate and adopt their multi-tiered community school model and theory of change. With support from a private grant, we trained our community school teams and have formally adopted new strategies and metrics to show the impact our work.
