- Participation in School Activities: Our Clinician and UE Coach attend school activities, and volunteer for special assignments. Some examples include helping with computer distribution, delivering food to families, and supporting in the Black Student Union group.
- Professional Development: Our staff regularly provide school-wide professional development workshops, including Trauma-Informed Education, PBIS and MTSS. This year, our UE Coach and Clinician have teamed up to facilitate monthly Mental Health Matters trainings and have discussed topics such as anxiety in the classroom and self-care for educators.
- Seneca/School Relationships: Our staff regularly attend staff meetings during school hours, which helps keep them in the know about school trends, celebrations, challenges and overall Summit updates. They have built strong relationships with school staff by attending staff virtual hangouts and other team building activities. Our UE Coach and Clinician also regularly attend Olympus Leadership Team meetings.
- Seneca Team Communication: The entire Seneca team that works at Olympus (UE Coach, Clinical, Occupational Therapist, Speech & Language Pathologist, School Psychologist and Partnership Manager) come together two times per month to meet and share information, celebrate victories, and problem-solve around challenging situations or students. The information-sharing has benefited every team member, especially during the time of virtual school when there is no staff lounge, office, or hallway where you normally might share information in-person.
