BARR Center

Every educator's perspective is incredibly valuable. Together, they create a more complete picture of a student.

The goal of Block Meetings isn’t to create more meetings. It is for educators to maximize collaborative time together and identify actionable solutions.

Attendance and grades are essential indicators of student progress. 📊

But they don't always tell us why a student may be struggling — or what strengths and relationships could help..

Through BARR's structured collaboration, educators work together and coordinate responses.

Behind every data point is a student and a team of educators ready to help them thrive. 🌟

Jenifer, Meridian, and Taylorview middle schools in Idaho are using the BARR model to bring educators together and coordinate support for students.
