Summary:

|
Matheny-Withrow Elementary School is identified as a Comprehensive School in need of school improvement from the 2024 School Report Card. The school is proposing to engage in a new learning partnership with the Partnership for Resilience (P4R) to support school improvement efforts. The Partnership for Resilience works to improve academic, health, and social outcomes for children by fostering trauma-responsive schools alongside effective family, school, health, and community partnerships. The Partnership for Resilience currently supports our district’s Springfield Resilience Initiative (SRI) in partnership with SEA. Matheny is a SRI school, and is choosing to extend the partnership for additional school training and supports. Additional SRI schools in our district include: Ridgely, Fairview, Feitshans, Harvard Park, WMS, and SLA. The SRI partnership focuses on trauma informed and responsive practice professional development and support at these schools. The specific proposed contract for Matheny-Withrow will include the following work:
Help organize the overall structure, activities and work plan for the Initiative’s first two years of operation.
Provide coaching to the Matheny Elementary School Steering Team to help develop meeting goals and agendas.
Give Matheny-Withrow Elementary School access to its body of training curricula and evaluation tools to be adapted to its needs.
Assist with the development of baseline training and action planning sessions.
Provide other on-going assistance to advance the goals of the Matheny-Withrow Elementary.
Support the school’s efforts including the design of PLCs and school resilience team coaching.
