EdCamp is an open format where group members sharethoughts to help one another in implementation of "real life" practice. These notes reflect the thinking of someone in the group but do not represent an official position on behalf of MAASE. Anyone using this as a resource is encouraged to use their best judgement in interpreting the suggestions.
MAASE EdCamp Format:
Clarify the Problem of Practice to Solve
Collaborate around the Problem of Practice by offering suggestions and resources
Give feedback to the committee on how to improve next time
Notes:
Example from EUPISD - thazley@eupschools.org (Tammy Hazley)
*Seeing increasing challenges of youth with mental health needs
*Lack of community supports and help
*Emergency Youth Assistance Team development
*Threat Assessment Teams
*Notes to not exclude a student pending a risk assessment (from Thrun notes)
*We tend to be better at the threat assessment side of things in comparison to the self harm side of things
*The work and complexity with principals and safety plans
The Behavior Code - Jessica Minahan & Nancy Rappaport
*Using standardized measures
Example:
-School psychologist turns around the risk assessment in 10 days
-Assigning case managers
-Schools adding flow charts to guide risk assessments AND follow-up
-Google Docs where each building owns their own data on the students
(visibility and accountability helps staff to own the data)
