Interconnected Systems Framework: Introduction

This pathway is the first in a three-part series on the interconnected systems framework (ISF), an implementation framework that creates and guides the deliberate merger of education and mental health systems and staff members. Participants define ISF; describe the current context, language, and key messages; identify steps for getting started; and are provided with resources to assist teams with implementing ISF.

Coaching Support Included

This training includes a coaching component delivered by experts at each regional education service center to help educators apply what they’ve learned with confidence and fidelity. Coaching provides personalized, job‑embedded support grounded in four research‑based practices proven to strengthen instruction: alliance-building, observation, modeling, and performance feedback.

Educators and coaches complete a three‑step coaching cycle—pre‑observation, observation, and performance feedback—to reinforce training content and improve implementation. Coaching is designed to fit flexibly into your existing schedule and enhance your work, not add to it.
