Welcome to this facilitated course, with Community of Practice (COP), focusing on the development and implementation of a Connections Screener as a method of measuring connectedness. In this course, participants will learn about a Rhode Island established Connections screener, the administration process and how data from the screener has been traditionally utilized. Participants will then work to pilot the administration of a screening process within each participant’s school context. The course will have required synchronous meetings (along with optional additional meeting opportunities), self-paced course completion activities aligned with evolving research and resources on connectedness as a result of redesigned educational experience due to COVID, and creation of action steps for a screening process within each participant’s school setting.

Prerequisites: All participants must have taken the first course “The Importance of Connectedness” as it contains foundational elements of "why" connectedness is important and information that can be shared with staff.
