District Leadership: StrengthBuilding® Immersion with a 500-600 Student School Community
University of Arizona
To receive all the benefits that StrengthBuilding offers, a district can select StrengthBuilding Immersion for one or more school communities. With this program, a StrengthBuilding Counselor is assigned to the school and works an average of 10 hours a week year-round to assist the entire school staff in applying StrengthBuilding to daily situations and longer-term school goals. This program includes delivering StrengthBuilding Essentials training for up to 30 staff members each year. StrengthBuilding Immersion facilitates what research has shown is intricately connected with student success: the school staff working as a team and learning from one another, a sense of a shared mission, and opportunities to access quality professional development, especially coaching.
