Overview and key findings: Texting for Rapid Youth Support
From Oneville Wiki
UCHE: I DON'T CURRENTLY SEE THE POINT OF CALLING THIS MOBILE MESSAGING SUPPORT TEAM, GIVEN OUR FOCUS ON TEXTING. WE ALSO DIDN'T DO 'TEAMS' YET IN PHASE 1, REALLY. ok w/ RENAME?
Documenters: please use these categories to organize your documentation. Please see the drafted Parent connector network page for explanation of each category. See Vision for OneVille documentation for more discussion of what we hope the final wiki will look like and accomplish!
Summary
(Note to documenters: In this summary, quickly tell the reader a, b, and c:
a. Communication we set forth to improve. (What aspect of communication did we set forth to improve, so that more people in Somerville could collaborate in young people's success?)
b. Main communication improvement(s). (What is the main communication improvement we made? What new support for young people may have resulted?)
c. Main communication realization. (What's your main realization about needed improvements to the communication infrastructure of public education? Who needs to communicate what information to whom, through which media, in order to support youth in a diverse community? Which barriers are in the way of such communication, and how might these barriers be overcome?)
