Is your organization considering or currently implementing Check & Connect, but unsure how Check & Connect may fit into your current model of support? Or perhaps considering how to implement Check & Connect on a larger scale? This session will take a deep dive into Communities In Schools of North Carolina’s efforts to “scale-up” the implementation of Check & Connect – starting as a small pilot project and moving to its current form: a state-wide implementation. In this session, you will learn why and how Communities In Schools of North Carolina has decided to implement Check & Connect as part of the CIS Model, the successes and challenges of implementing Check & Connect at a local and state-wide level, and how a strong partnership with UMN’s Institute on Community Integration is necessary for successful implementation.
