Sisu

321 Insight

321 Insight was created by Dr. Will Henson and Dr. Skip Greenwood based on their desire to fill a critical hole in the education system. Both had been consulting with school districts for many years and were often called on to help with especially challenging student situations that needed special care. Time and again, Dr. Henson and Dr. Greenwood encountered smart, committed paraeducators who weren’t properly trained to handle difficult circumstances. If paraeducators had received formal “Sit and Get” PD, it was rarely effective nor memorable. They felt a calling to create simple, practical training that could easily fit into a paraeducator’s day to build skills to bolster success in interacting with students. 321 Insight’s training is entirely based on best practices that come from hands-on experience in real classrooms. The team has worked together in the greater Portland, Oregon area for decades. They are satisfied to see the PD they have built for 321 Insight implemented across the country and excited to help school districts nationwide upskill to address barriers to student success.
