School Consultations
Consultation is available at your school/facility or at the Stern Center. Consultations offer collaboration opportunities with school teams to help maximize the effectiveness of instruction and to help parents and educators better understand instructional needs.
Stern Center professional coaching staff will work with you and your colleagues to plan appropriate professional learning targeted to your students’ needs and your School Action Plan. We will work with school teams during teacher in-service and/or school days to provide on-site training. We also provide on-going mentoring support and Instructional Professional Learning within which we offer targeted strategies for specific individual students while helping school personnel gain increased skills to better meet the needs of challenged learners. Stern Center professionals can also assist school teams in developing and establishing data systems for progress monitoring informing instructional strategies for all 3 Tiers of RTI. Teachers and specialists will gain insights into research-based instruction and learn practical strategies to apply in the classroom.
Collaborative Consultations
Instructors assist in developing IEPs or 504s suitable for students with unique learning profiles and incorporating appropriate teaching strategies. We collaborate on in-school service recommendations and implementation of Stern Center interventions to target areas of need.
Educational Planning
Instructors use informal and formal testing to determine students' current levels of functioning in math, writing, and literacy. We make program recommendations as requested for school implementation.
