I am sure there is still confusion with the triad/dyad structure and the conversation of how early childhood programs "fit" into the role/work of school social workers, psychologist, and special education consultants.
Pam Ahlrich, zone coordinator, created a document to help clarify roles and understanding of our collaborative work. The attached document is version 3; there have been extended conversations and clarifications on this topic.
Please use the document to assist you and remember these important points about your role:
1) ECSE teachers/consultants have expertise in curriculum and instruction at the early childhood level.
2) Private preschools and Head Start programs located within the communities you serve, rely on YOU as the first point of contact.
3) The initial point of contact with preschool programs within a district building may vary - who is readily available on a regular basis?
3) Collaborative teams are necessary for child find activities, evaluations, challenging behaviors, interventions,transitions and IEPs. draft
