CSSR technical assistance is based on educational best practices that provide every child with the opportunity to achieve in math and literacy, and that advance social, civic, and emotional growth as part of the middle or secondary school experience. These practices are embodied in services and tools supporting personalized education, which enables every child to be known well by his/her teachers, administrators, and school staff personnel and to be truly treated as an individual of value.

These practices also reflect the belief that every child deserves to graduate from high school with a clear picture of his/her capabilities and the competence to succeed at work or in further education.

The CSSR team regularly creates professional development opportunities in such areas as change leadership, teaming, looking at student work as a vehicle for improving curriculum, instruction, assessment, and strategies for personalization. Additional workshop offerings by the CSSR coaches include:

• Creating a Purposeful Advisory Program
