Rapid Assessment and Action Planning (RAAP) is an innovative, data-driven solution to address school districts’ SEL and mental health needs through comprehensive consultation.
COVID-19 and ongoing racial inequities are creating a new wave of stress, fear, and trauma for students, parents, and educators. One way for districts to address these challenges is by implementing equitable and effective systems of social-emotional learning and mental health supports. EDC’s Rapid Assessment and Action Planning (RAAP) solution can help you do this.
