https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks What do you hope to get out of Grade Level Collaborations? en-us 2022-10-25 12:36:54 UTC 2025-09-26 22:10:40 UTC hello@padlet.com michelledefreitas https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2355972325 I hope we can use these meetings to invite speakers that can address some of the topics that many of us might struggle with. Perhaps the speakers can share about programs that might be beneficial to our work or some of our own colleagues that can share on their success in addressing certain issues. Some topics I struggle with in my district include teen substance abuse and pervasive mental illness in the community as a whole. ]]> 2022-10-25 18:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2355972325 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356048496 I am hoping in these meetings that we can exchange resources ( ie. strategies to support and engage school avoidant clients, high risk referrals, etc.) I am looking forward to hearing from speakers. I am also looking forward to connecting and networking with this team. ]]> 2022-10-25 19:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356048496 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356050283 I would love to learn what works in other districts and just general ideas of how I can improve the program in Cliffside Park. One of the biggest challenges within my caseload right now between Middle School and High School is school refusal. ]]> 2022-10-25 19:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356050283 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356051093 I think working at the high school level adding to the complexities of balancing trust/confidentiality with teens and engaging the parents. So support around this grey area is always beneficial.
My other thought is staying up-to-date with current social terms/trends that our students are engaging in.
Third thought is support engaging treatment resistant and school refusal/avoidant students.]]> 2022-10-25 19:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356051093 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356051961 I am hoping to find new ways to engage high school level students and find creative activities and coping skills to utilize in session. Some topics that I am seeing in our district is an increase in substance use resulting in disciplinary action and an increase in anxiety.]]> 2022-10-25 19:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356051961 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356052027 I hope we can use the meetings to validate and support each other, to share ideas on interventions, parent engagement and support, collateral communication and collaboration, PDs, etc. Also sharing resources for our students/families. Get feedback on challenging themes and/or successes. For example, school refusal/avoidance OR parents who are not open to higher LOC like Performcare or IOP/PHP. Another common challenge: the "silent" student and/or the help-rejecting student/parent. I look forward to the sharing and caring :) ]]> 2022-10-25 19:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356052027 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356053339 Hope to share resources and offer and gain clinical support. Also gain knowledge from those more experienced with EVOLV.]]> 2022-10-25 19:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356053339 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356053386 I hope these meetings can help serve as a resource for other school-based clinicians who also work in high schools. Many of us may be noticing similar struggles or challenges within our district and it'll be nice to exchange resources and feedback that can be used among our high school population.

One of the main issues here is anxiety, depression and self-harm behaviors etc. I also like the idea of inviting speakers!]]> 2022-10-25 19:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356053946 https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356057258 I am hoping we can utilize these meetings to exchange resources and ideas, as well as provide strategies for working with students who have a hx of hospitalizations, SI, self harm, and substance use. Also students experiencing gender identity issues and navigating that with parents. Sharing PDs and parent workshop ideas would also be great!]]> 2022-10-25 19:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michelledefreitas/rgkydr30k2xy1wks/wish/2356057258
