2:00 PM - 3:30 PM (Eastern)
In this webinar, presented by the National Wraparound Initiative, Constance Conklin (Mental Health Services to Children and Families, Department of Community Health) will focus on the use of Medicaid waivers, with a specific emphasis on 1915(c) waivers, to support wraparound implementation. Seven states are using 1915(c) waivers to serve Medicaid enrollees in the community instead of requiring hospital level of care, and eight states are using 1915(c) waivers for Medicaid enrollees rather than psychiatric residential treatment level of care. 1915(c) waivers are actually used in almost every state to serve at least some segments of Medicaid populations.

Web-based Event
August 20, 2010

Students with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD) continue to demonstrate the worst post-secondary outcomes among all groups of students, in part due to their large dropout rate.

First, the need for consistent pro-active environmental supports across a continuum will be discussed through School-wide Positive Behavior Supports. Second, preliminary work will be presented from a recently funded research center focusing specifically on students with EBD within high schools. Participants will be provided with promising ideas and directed to available resources to assist them in implementation. Data Driven: Making Student Data Accessible and Meaningful to Families
Web-based Event
August 10, 2010
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM (Eastern)
The U.S. Department of Education has adopted using data for school improvement as a major education reform priority. In the past decade, the Department, school districts, and states have spent more than a billion dollars to build data systems to foster improvement and now can transform this data into information that can promote student success by tracking academic progress and by guiding the daily actions of families, schools, communities, and the students themselves. This third webinar, “Data Driven: Making Student and School Data Accessible and Meaningful to Families,” will look at practical examples of how districts and schools use data to engage families in their children's education. The webinar will introduce tools that help practitioners, districts, and schools to incorporate data into their own family engagement strategies. The Reinventing Quality Conference
