What We Do
System 1-2-3 takes the time to get to know you, your team and your program. Because of this, we are able to offer a variety of personalized and targeted professional development options that will support your program goals and match your budget.
System 1-2-3 facilitators visit your setting and join teams of teachers, therapists, parents, coaches, and consultants. They observe, ask questions, develop ideas, and share insights. They help move the team from problem to planning to paper to practice. They encourage, find strengths, challenge, and support revised practices when needed.
Setting support averages about 7 hours per month for 3 months, however, it can vary greatly with the intensity of the presented challenges.
Cathy Stanley, Program Officer for Pittsburgh Public Schools Early Intervention Program, talks about the customization process.
System 1-2-3 facilitators work with organizational leaders to envision, plan, and sustain growth. Leadership teams include administrators, directors, principals, and program officers, and may also include teachers, therapists, or parents. Topics include outcome planning, prioritizing needs, and enhancing multi-tiered systems of support for children.
During the initial project planning, the leadership team usually meets 2-3 times, and then quarterly moving forward.
System 1-2-3 facilitates groups around priority topics and current challenges to leverage encouragement, ideas, and support from the collective experience of the group. These small groups are comprised of individuals who share responsibilities or have similar roles. The most common roles in small groups are supervisors, coaches, managers, consultants, and directors charged with building the capacity of direct service educators and therapists.
Kim Dellefemine, Program Officer for Pittsburgh Public Schools Early Childhood Education program, talks about System 1-2-3’s impact across program roles.
Jocelyn Debick, Director of Children’s Services for accessAbilities, Inc., talks about how System 1-2-3 supports professional growth.
We design and facilitate workshops on a variety of topics. The focus of all workshops is participant engagement and application of concepts in the context of their real challenges.
Workshops are usually between 1.5 and 3 hours. System 1-2-3 facilitators have a variety of certifications including PQAS and PBIS.
