Following the initial training workshop, this cohort
will engage in virtual monthly communities of
practice for the duration of 2022-2023 school year
GOAL:
To build resilience in our leaders, schools, and
communities by training at least one member from
each of Region IV's school districts.
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
School and community leaders engaged in
community resilience practices. Participants will
leave this training with additional capacity,
resources, and knowledge to lead their communities
effectively in times of crisis.
It is our hope that this training expands regional capacity to
respond effectively in times of need. For example, the Lakes
Country Regional Crisis Response Team is comprised of
approximately 50 members. Team members from participating
districts represent various disciplines including school
administrators, school counselors, school psychologists, social
workers, teachers, school nurses, security experts, media relations
professionals and other related areas.
When mobilized, teams act as a support system for school staff,
students, and community. The presence of the Regional Crisis
Response Team offers a great pool of resources to enhance your
response within the community.
