Central Iowa ACEs Sets Direction

Lisa Cushatt 7/6/1511:07 AM

The Central Iowa ACEs 360 Steering Committee approved a strategic plan and new coalition structure at their June meeting. The strategic plan follows the Spectrum of Prevention framework from the Prevention Institute to ensure a multi-faceted, comprehensive approach for responding to ACEs. New efforts key to the plan include deepening work in key sectors through the development of sector-based strategies.

The new coalition structure focuses on three equally important tiers: Community Learning Circle, Steering Committee, and ACEs Action Groups. This new structure was developed to:

Provide opportunities for learning and engagement for anyone interested in the region
Deepen and accelerate work in core areas
Maintain leadership with the steering committee to view collective work throughout the region

Attached is a document providing an overview of the strategic plan and coalition structure. A special thank you goes to focus group participants and steering committee members that spent time contributing to the development of the strategic plan.

I was just reviewing the Framework for Prevention Model and came across its use in practice in Central Iowa which is very helpful. I'm reviewing frameworks for implementing trauma-informed schools to use in my practice. This model helps clarify the levels of change that can be targeted. I want to focus on a model to integrate what we know about non-instructional determinants of achievement (trauma, poverty, etc.) with existing educational initiatives such as MTSS and social emotional learning. Thanks for sharing this work in progress.
