Student-Centered Strategies in Alternative Education

What would a school look like if all faculty and support staff regularly met to discuss student successes and challenges? It would look exactly like Mountainside Success Academy in El Dorado County Office of Education. Join Dr. Janet Pilcher as she interviews Principal Maria Osborne and Instructional Strategist Sharon Shipley about their approach and experiences in leading and teaching students in alternative education. Listen to hear how they regularly meet with students to provide personalized support and integrate trauma-informed practices to address the unique needs of their students.
