Three Pathways, Five Channels, One Cohort-Level Venue
The Three Pathways Of Deliverable 3
Deliverable 3 organizes BHPM capacity building into three pathways. As decisions move farther from the individual student, the information used becomes more aggregate and the audience becomes broader.
| Pathway | Who | What They Do With Behavioral Health Information |
|---|---|---|
| Pathway 1 | School teams | Use behavioral health information within student support and school improvement. |
| Pathway 2 | LEA leaders | Examine aggregate patterns across schools and act on them through program, professional learning and resource decisions. |
| Pathway 3 | System partners: county offices of education, county behavioral health, child welfare and probation, county boards, state agencies and legislative staff | Work on the conditions that let school behavioral health systems operate and last: interagency coordination, governance, reporting, financing and policy. |
The Learning Collaborative is where LEAs look up and out. It is the primary venue in which site and district experience is translated into the language of county and state systems, where the barriers that cannot be resolved at a school or LEA are named and routed to the partners who can act on them, and where participants engage with what implementation on the ground is showing. The Collaborative is also, by design, where the cohort develops the statewide recommendations and identifies the transferable practices that feed the Training Guide (Deliverable 7) and the Final Report (Deliverable 8).
Where The Learning Collaborative Sits
The Technical Assistance Plan describes five channels of support:
- Strategic planning
- Professional development
- In-field coaching
- Technical and platform support
- The quarterly convenings
The first four operate at the level of an individual site or LEA. Site-level platform training, led by Impacter Pathway, prepares school teams to administer the screener and read their own results. Professional learning and coaching under Deliverable 3 build the capacities described in the three pathways. The Collaborative does not replace any of these. It is the one channel that operates at the level of the whole cohort, comparing patterns across LEAs, surfacing the barriers no single LEA can resolve on its own, and building the shared evidence base that individual technical assistance cannot produce.
Individual technical assistance cannot surface the barriers no single LEA can resolve on its own. The Collaborative is built to find them and route them to the partners who can act.
