Engaging Local Coalitions to Help Students (using ESSER Funding)

Thursday, January 27, 2022 | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM CST

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented needs in most communities.  The health and economic disparities that were alarming before the pandemic have grown worse in the past year. Vulnerable children (and teens) often suffer the most harm.  

Coalitions that work to prevent and address Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and that strive to improve Early Childhood Development play a vital role in helping solve these complex challenges.

 

This webinar focuses on 5 POWERFUL ways that school districts can engage local organizations and coalitions to help students overcome challenging circumstances and succeed.

1.    Learn how collaboration with community organizations and other school districts can result in greater benefits achieved from the funding provided via the American Rescue Plan (ARP)

2.    Make the Most of “Multiplying Resources” to help more students

3.    Divide & conquer to streamline the development and implementation of community strategies for high-need students

4.    Use the ACEs & Resilience Resource Commons for Communities (ARRCC) wiki to access valuable information and content

5. Adopt “strategy management” techniques to support successful implementation over several years

  • Dramatically reduce the time it takes to create an outstanding plan for addressing some of the complex issues that can be funded with ESSER dollars (and that require community collaboration)

  • Greatly build the capacity of organizations in your community to work together to help students (and future students) overcome pandemic-worsened obstacles

  • Improve the teamwork with less effort by the school district

  • Leverage other funding sources

  • Streamline the management of information needed for long-term success

Participants who fill out a post-webinar survey will gain access to a wealth of additional information!

The webinar shares practical approaches that Bill Barberg wrote about in a highly acclaimed chapter on Implementing Population Health Strategies for the book,

This webinar is part of a series of webinars designed to help your community get better outcomes.

The audience for this webinar is school district leaders and staff who are receiving huge amounts of money from the states via the ESSER program, but who need help in using it wisely for the greatest and most lasting impact.

There will be a related webinar on January 25 that is designed for Coalitions and Community Based Organizations that help infants, children, students, youth, and parents. It is also excellent information for coalitions working to minimize or address homelessness among young families or teens—a major source of trauma.
