Partnering for School Success
To maximize the effectiveness of a new program, you need more than just a manual. We provide sites that are implementing KITS programs with ongoing consultation, training, coaching, and technical assistance. We will be your partner in ensuring that your KITS program is strong, sustainable, and fits your unique community.
We Partner With You From the Beginning
Getting any program up and running is a detailed process. At KITS, we can help you to lay the groundwork for a successful program by providing consultation and technical assistance on multiple steps such as:
- Introducing the KITS program to staff within your organization, potential funders, and other partners
- Hiring/recruiting KITS staff
- Inviting and enrolling families
- Considering logistics of facilities and transportation
- Materials needed for the program
Training + Coaching = The Best Results
Pairing an initial training with ongoing coaching can lead to better and faster implementations of new programs. That’s why we provide regular, consistent coaching for new KITS Teams after an initial training in person or online. Our KITS coaches provide strengths-based feedback to KITS teams and help them to tailor the program to the needs of individual children and families. Coaches are also available for consultation between coaching sessions. We are always here to support you with training and coaching that will help you provide the best KITS programming for your families.
