Like many of us, you’ve likely struggled with the balance between focusing on a child’s strengths, while at the same time, better understanding their needs.
You’ve also likely participated in meetings where because you were pressed for time, energy was spent on reporting out to one another, but never having a real conversation about patterns, trends, and priorities.

- What are possible solutions?
- What are our priorities?
