Project Description
Greenfield Union School District includes 13 K-8 schools in Bakersfield, California. The district employs 410 teachers and serves over 9,300 students.
SWIFT is supporting Greenfield Union to implement Equity-based MTSS by facilitating professional learning sessions, providing coaching sessions for school leadership and MTSS teams, building strong district-level capacity through work with the District Leadership Team, and conducting district- and school-level assessments to identify strengths and opportunities related to MTSS implementation.
Project Goals
The District Leadership Team is beginning the work of deepening capacity to support Equity-based MTSS in the Greenfield Union district by collecting and analyzing data. Through this process, they have identified and removed policies and practices that were proving to be a barrier to providing robust universal instruction to all students. Through coaching, professional development, and assessments, SWIFT will continue to support educational leaders and school teams as they build capacity for Equity-based MTSS.
