Children with special needs can often benefit from a number of therapies and, generally, the sooner they receive treatment, the better the outcomes will be. But, how do you know if a child needs help?

Meeting #4 - May 8, 2019
Welcome & Introductions
Superintendent Graden introduced Amy Tesolin who has vast experience leading and facilitating discussions with various groups.
Ms. Tesolin introduced herself and explained her background. We spent some time discussing the importance of facilitation and consensus building.
- You don’t have to 100% agree with a decision, but you need to be able to live by it.
- It’s important to address conflict and discuss it.
- We have to be open to the idea of building consensus
- A facilitator’s role in consensus building would not be to chair the meeting, it would be to facilitate the process so everyone has a voice and is involved in the process
- A facilitator helps manage the power dynamics in a group
Meeting #3 - April 16, 2019
How do we help our students see themselves within stories they encounter in school?
WARM-UP
Windows, Mirrors, and More
Individually reflect on how you have seen yourself (or not seen yourself) in stories
In triads, take 10 minutes to discuss how you have seen yourself (or not seen yourself) in stories. Further, discuss WHY it’s important to see self and others in the stories? Why might an individual from an underserved, oppressed group need a story to be a blanket or an escape hatch?
SAS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee
