As a school psychologist who tends to focus on teacher education and effective educational practices for the prevention of learning difficulties, rather than just on the assessment and diagnosis of them, I have been told more than a few times that I am not "staying in my lane."
Well, the accomplished @sstollar6 (who also wears the school psychologist hat, among many others) confirmed that I am well within my lane in this fantastic session about multi-tiered systems of support and effective literacy practices. One of my favourite moments: Make AGGREGATED decisions from the screening data you gather and "come up with an intervention for your system" when the data indicates that this is needed. 🙌👍
Thanks to @MmeLockhartLDSB for hosting and bringing our collective students from the Literacy, Language and Learning Graduate Diploma Program @VIUniversity and the Regional Teacher Education @EducationUnbc together. Thanks also to @AnaViera21C for being there, and for your ongoing support and work in this space!

The @mcsdbobcats began their #CollaborativeProblemSolving journey when they "recognized that certain students were struggling to follow rules at school due to underlying #MentalHealth conditions, which had manifested into observable, defiant behaviors."
