How Are You Supporting Social, Emotional, & Behavioral Wellness in Your Schools?

Bastrop ISD has been partnering with Emergent Tree for approximately five years. I have been involved in the partnership since year one. My experience working with Emergent Tree is that they are always willing to address our needs specific to our campuses and district. They have helped to establish our Tier 1 and Tier 2 systems and have provided a structured framework, which has provided consistency across our campuses, regardless of the grade band. We have found the end-of-year Program Review invaluable. We utilize the review to identify areas in need of growth and those that we can celebrate. It is also beneficial for developing individual campus and/or overall district goals and priorities.

Through the process that Emergent Tree led us through emerged a critical need to have the infrastructure to support our efforts and bring a level of intentionality to our work.

The most valuable feedback was when Emergent Tree came from the outside looking in to analyze our systems and identify what we are doing well and begging for improvement. 

Emergent Tree led us through an intentional and deliberate process of gathering all the different voices in the same room and took us through a strategic conversation. What emerged was comfort in recognizing that colleagues were ready to collaborate on the next steps and establish cohesion in moving forward.
