Description:
The Strategic Integration Liaison (SIL) Program is an initiative designed by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to assist district and charter leaders with system change implementation for inclusive practices of students with disabilities and Mult-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). The SIL team consists of two full-time positions at ESC-20 under the supervision and leadership of Lisa Kirby.
The SIL team is trained by TEA in the competencies of data collection and analysis, systems coaching and alignment, and change management. SILs are expected to work with executive school leaders using a three-year change management cycle to support improved outcomes for students. Currently, ESC-20 SILs Michelle Candland and Priscilla Molina are working with nine school districts and charters across the region at various stages of this process. |
