Staff at St. Madeleine’s will begin working this August with noted specialist Hanna Bogen to enhance classroom strategies that will benefit students at all skill levels.  Funding for the year-long program is provided through a federal education allocation under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) administered by the Department of Education.

Recognizing that a child’s self-regulation skills as early as preschool are the best indicators of longitudinal success, we know that numerous students – regardless of their academic aptitude – continue to struggle to exhibit the foundational self-regulation, emotional-regulation, and communication skills needed to access their educations during later years.  For many students, coordination of support among caregivers, educators, and specialists is the missing link for global success.   Ms. Bogen’s professional development and consultative services help to complete that link and ensure that teachers receive the training and resources they need to successfully support students.

During her quarterly on-site visits (and through on-line consultations), Hanna’s work will include:

• Supporting successful communication with parents and caregivers to enhance student growth, academic success and social success.
• Implementing student growth goals to support the ongoing development of self-regulation and emotional-regulation skills for all students.
• Coaching teachers to identify strategies to empower parents and caregivers to mirror school-based strategies and tools intended to enhance student success.
• Coaching teachers to enhance individual and group self-regulation and executive functioning within the classroom setting.
