- Every child will be provided a rigorous and research-based curriculum
- Every child will be provided effective and relentless teaching
- Interventions will be provided at the earliest identification of need
- Policy will be based on evidence-based practice
- Every educator will continuously gain knowledge and develop expertise to build capacity and sustain effective practice
- Resources will be intentionally designed and redesigned to match student needs
- Every leader will be responsible for planning, implementing and evaluating
- Academic and behavioral data will be used to inform instructional decisions
- Educators and family members will be part of the fundamental practice of effective problem-solving and instructional decision making
- An empowering culture will be enhanced/developed that creates collective responsibility for student success
These goals match the criteria established by the Kansas Board of Education for a Multi-Tiered Support System. The MTSS system “is a coherent continuum of evidence based, system-wide practices to support a rapid response to academic and behavioral needs, with frequent data based monitoring for instructional decision making to empower each Kansas student to achieve high standards.”
HBHA currently staffs one resource teacher. Many Judaic and general studies teachers also provide services for students in need. For more information, contact Netta Krashin at 913.327.4645.
