Program Sustainability

Sustainability Follow-Up Training Sessions

Although thoughtful program development is a necessary first step to choosing and designing a program model, program development also requires the constant care of and reflection on best practice, implementation, and continuous improvement. Our focused planning retreats help schools/districts understand that program sustainability is only realized when the ideals and commitments are owned by the entire school community. Sustainability Follow-Up Sessions consist of an in-depth look at factors leading to program sustainability among participating schools.
