Koalaty Kid School Facilitators

A building Koalaty Kid facilitator keeps the momentum of Koalaty Kid training going in the school. He/she works closely with the building principal and school improvement team to enhance the school's use of Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) and the use of quality tools. He/she serves as a "coach" for teachers and works with staff in refining their skills in the following areas: use of data driven decision making at the classroom level, creating classroom mission statements, implementing the use of student data folders (and student led conference techniques), use of quality tools to enhance instruction and use of PDSA to increase academic achievement and positive student behavior. In general, the school's Koalaty Kid facilitator serves as a "PDSA/quality tools support person".

It is our vision that every school in RISD 41 has a Koalaty Kid facilitator.  Facilitators may be involved in the following:

• Share best practices in PDSA/quality tool usage in the school or classroom setting
• Network with other facilitators to share ideas and best practices
• Assist staff, students and administrators in learning how to effectively use PDSA and quality tools
• Learn from each other's expertise and experiences and discuss how to deploy and enhance continuous improvement efforts in RISD #41
• Attend conferences, workshops, site visits or other professional development activities
