STRIVE Quadrant 1 (Beckley)

Series: STRIVE
October 16, 2026, 8:00 am - 3:30 pm EDT

Overview

Pre-K and Elementary Education

The STRIVE framework is a strategic approach adopted to assist districts with the alignment of state, local, and agency resources that promote student well-being and academic success. The goal is to ensure districts are fully aware of the extensive supports available, and to effectively coordinate these services with local resources. By doing so, we aim to enhance student outcomes in academics, behavior, and attendance while addressing their social-emotional needs.
