We were honored to present “Building Local Capacity: Developing Internal Coaches to Strengthen System and Team Needs in Behavioral Health & Education” at the IN Council of Administrators of Special Education Fall Conference with KCARC! Together, we explored the Internal Coaching Provider Model and its powerful role in elevating care standards across systems specific to FoundationalSupports modules within the HANDSModel.
Key areas of focus:
• Step-by-step walkthrough of the coaching process
• Overview of tools for structured training, feedback, and fidelity
• Real-world needs and examples of successful implementation
• Insights into our upcoming educator/school team pilot
• How micro-credentialing and badging drive measurable growth and professional recognition using our current HANDSECHO, HANDSMITI and international HANDSModel coach trainer badges as examples of available, sustainable efforts
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the session! We appreciated your questions and perspectives. Let’s keep building strong, sustainable systems—one coach trainer at a time!
