WHAT MAKES THE EMPOWERMENT COLLABORATIVE MODEL UNIQUE?
The Empowerment Collaborative model is designed to shift the school environment based on four principles that work together to empower students and teachers. In order to help school districts identify action steps to lead innovation through these protocols, we provide action guides for each principle.
