Systemic Change Facilitation

Note: The NJIETA project will provide services during the 2022-23 school year either in person, hybrid, or virtually depending on the district’s request.

Systemic Change Facilitation is a three-to-five-year partnership between your school and an Inclusion Facilitator provided through the NJIETA project. This partnership requires a commitment at the school and district level to make substantial changes in the operation and function of the school in order to implement inclusive practices, policies, and culture.

During the partnership, the school will develop or utilize an existing team to lead the effort. The team will review the Quality Indicators for Inclusive Schools and use that as a guide to develop an action plan and establish priorities for implementation. The Inclusion Facilitator will meet with the team on a monthly basis to build capacity around the priorities identified in the school’s action plan and provide corresponding onsite training and coaching.

The Inclusion Facilitator and school administration shall provide quarterly updates to district leadership on action plan progress and any challenges to implementation that may arise.
