Capacity planning
How much consultation does your system need and what will it do? This session works through it with Georgetown technical assistance specialists, system leaders and senior practitioners who have been there.
Brandy Fox of the Pennsylvania Key told the story of Pennsylvania's statewide program, now in its 20th year. It began in 2006 as a pilot with 3.5 consultants and has grown to a team of 34, funded mostly through CCDF. Bringing every consultant under one employer saved enough to hire about 7 more and gave programs a single place to ask for help. Her advice for leaders: start with classroom and program consultation rather than child-specific cases, collect data the same way from day one, and hire for a reflective way of being.
Rate your program's consultation with the Program Planning and Reflection Tool.
