A case manager will then coordinate communication among all of the professionals involved in a child's life, and keep parents up to date through regular contact with them. Parents can breathe a sigh of relief when they sign on at The Learning Lab. Many parents tell us that coordinating their child's care is a full time job. NetWorks for Success reflects the long-standing mission of Lesley University to support teachers and schools. Educators and other professionals in the schools who agree to be a part of a NetWorks team find that the support they get helps them be more effective with more children.
Teachers benefit from regular consultation from a case manager.
In addition to his or her own experience and expertise, the case manager has access to all of the abundant professional resources of Lesley University. The case manager answers teachers' questions and offers suggestions that are realistic, practical and easy to implement. Forward thinking, proactive school districts have contracted with the Learning Lab to provide the NetWorks for Success program to help them provide appropriate services to challenging children. Taking this step has resulted in an improvement in the quality of teaching, and has built bridges of cooperation between school and home. Taking advantage of the power of the Internet makes it easy to help teachers improve their skills.
