Building Trauma-Informed, Equitable Systems

Snohomish County Human Services, Behavioral Health & Veterans Division, is offering an opportunity for Districts and schools currently partnered with Snohomish County Human Services and Continua Consulting Group LLC to continue services in the 2022-2023 school year. 
 
The goals of implementing trauma-informed practices (TIP)/T-MTSS in whole districts as well as individual schools are:
  • Increased system knowledge and capacity for implementing MTSS
  • Increased knowledge of trauma-informed and evidence-based practices for leadership
  • Increased system use of data and implementation science practice
  • Increased teacher and leader capacity to select, implement, and measure trauma-informed interventions based on student and staff needs
  • Increased leader and teacher use of social-emotional learning (SEL) perceptual data (i.e. Panorama) to inform school SEL, equity, and culturally responsive interventions
  • Increased student sense of belonging & self competency
  • Increased teaching time
  • Increased staff wellness & retention
  • Focus on student & adult social-emotional learning
  • Focus on culturally responsive and equitable practices
  • Increased teacher collaboration practices for student-centered instruction (collective efficacy)
  • Decreased exclusionary discipline & decreased absenteeism
  • Increased knowledge and structures to manage behaviors
  • Meet state, District, and individual school goals
  • Sustainable, systemic change
  • And others
Current Districts and schools will continue to receive consultation on T-MTSS leadership components and work with Continua on individualized goals and deliverables. 

Funding priorities for 2022 are as follows: 1) District-level work for whole District systems; 2) new individual schools from Lake Stevens, Marysville, and Monroe school districts; and 3) current schools seeking an additional year of support or schools within a District currently involved and applying for new District-level work.
