Student support services help address barriers to learning like hunger, violence, and lack of health care. They engage families and communities to keep students healthy and support their academic success. Components include counseling, prevention programs, psychological services, social work, health services, and crisis response to help students develop skills for smart choices and positive behaviors. Research shows these services are associated with improved attendance, graduation rates, and academic performance.

Increasing Parent and Teacher Involvement: Employing Research Discoveries to ...Bilinguistics
Involving caregivers and teachers in the therapeutic process is a major component of successful therapy. However, social, familial, personal, and environmental factors can make caregiver and teacher involvement difficult.
In this course we identify the benefits of family involvement and will then provide five research-based strategies for how to improve our interactions with families and teachers. We refer to the strategies as SMILE (Sign, Model, Imitate, Label, and Expand). These strategies have been found to improve communication skills in young children. We will define the SMILE strategies, provide the rationale behind them, and demonstrate how to implement the strategies when serving an early-childhood population.

Trauma can have a profound impact on students, staff, and schools, interfering with cognitive and social-emotional processes needed to thrive in school and in life. Yet transforming the way we support student success and wellness takes innovation, focus, and deep partnership between the education and health sectors. CSHA and Alameda County will share their work with school systems in the Bay Area and across the state to create trauma- and healing-informed schools. We will share the basics of trauma awareness, lessons learned from school- and district-based efforts, and planning tools to apply to your own districts and school communities.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
