A Coordination of Services Team (COST) is a multidisciplinary team of school staff and providers who coordinate learning supports and resources for students. Teams meet regularly to review student referrals and link them to prevention and intervention services that support social emotional and behavioral health. This workshop will share findings from an inquiry of the impact of COST in Alameda County schools, offer a framework for measuring the outcomes of care coordination efforts, and present a case study profiling one schools’ implementation of the COST model. Participants will also engage in small groups to discuss the implications of this study and how they could strengthen and expand care/service coordination efforts in their own schools.

Private Enterprise in Public Education: Cautionary Tales from the U.S. by Hema Ramanathan, Associate Professor, College of Education, University of West Georgia, U.S.A.
In the summer of 2013, The Missouri Board of Education
posed the question: what is the appropriate role for
the state in the support of and possible intervention
in unaccredited school districts, if the goal is achieving
dramatic student achievement gains? This report
provides recommendations to answer that question
and represents a comprehensive vision for an urban
school system that fosters the conditions schools,
educators, parents, and students need for success.
While we focus here on the Kansas City Public Schools
(KCPS), these recommendations could also guide state
intervention in other unaccredited districts.

School Counselors, School Psychologists, and School Social Workers have overlapping but distinct roles. This powerpoint describes how each role is similar and unique and outlines the ways each position can be used in traditional ways, as well as innovative approaches. Depending on the needs of the school community, under the framework of Mutli-Tiered System of Support MTSS, schools and school districts may realign Pupil Personnel Support Services Positions to meet the educational needs of students.
Improving population health requires targeted policy, system and environmental (PSE) change interventions. As respected members of their communities, healthcare providers are uniquely positioned to advance PSE interventions by leveraging their clinical experiences and patient stories to provide context and scope to the public health issue.
During this workshop we will:
--Discuss the impact of social determinants of health on chronic disease and student health outcomes.
--Provide an overview of evidenced-based PSE interventions aimed at increasing access to healthy food and beverages and/or physical activity within the school setting.
--Highlight case studies of practicing healthcare providers who have been able to successfully advance PSE change within the school setting, particularly as it relates to obesity prevention efforts.
--Practice effective communication strategies to hone one’s voice and message as a means to successfully engage elected officials and key decision makers on important health policy issues.
Material for this training will be adapted from the successful Champion Provider Fellowship program- a program aimed at increasing healthcare providers’ capacity to engage in community change efforts within a broad range of settings. The primary audience for this workshop is practicing healthcare providers, however, all individuals with an interest in learning more about these topics are welcome to attend. All workshop attendees will receive a copy of the Champion Provider Fellowship’s PSE Playbook: Implementing Policy, System and Environmental Change in Our Communities.
