Allow us, your Central Minnesota Service Cooperative, to analyze the data for you so you can gain a clear snapshot of 20 items to drive your student focused work. The data will be delivered to you in a Google Presentation you may use with the teams of your choosing. Included in the presentation will be one slide on District Findings. You can then move forward with further examination of risk factors, protective factors, strengths, and areas of growth.
Please contact Michelle Wang, Education Director with interest or questions.
CIRCLES: Building Community - Learn More
The purpose of community building circles is to connect and reconnect with yourself and others. A circle provides a safe space for all voices, encouraging participants to move forward as their best self. Circles are beneficial for all ages; youth, adults, and both youth and adults together. Learning and growing are naturally supported through circles which support the whole child, the school, relationships, discipline (with positive outcomes), and a trauma-sensitive learning environment. This powerful tool creates a healthy balance for building relationships, establishing norms, and working through differences.
If you are interested in coaching sessions or support through modeling Circles please contact Megan Perry, Regional Social Worker at mperry@resourcecoop-mn.gov.
