10. The “SUPER7” Routine
Primarily elementary schools and some K-8 Centers receive services
Teams of two “SUPER7” Counselors (one team for each region: North, Central, & South) visit schools for a three (3) week period with a follow up revisit three weeks later
Schools are determined by Dr. Moore, Assistant Superintendent and the Region Superintendents
There is an initial meeting with the school’s leadership team prior to a “SUPER7” team being deployed
Each school is unique and has individual needs
The idea is to support, not point fingers, make demands, or criticize…..we are there to help to the best of our abilities
The school’s leadership team is surveyed at the end of the deployment period
