Presenter Bio(s)

McKinney-Vento.org Liaison Pro Cohorts are facilitated by one of our Community Managers—experienced professionals who actively serve as McKinney-Vento liaisons and Regional Grant Coordinators. Each facilitator brings several years of hands-on experience supporting dozens of local district liaisons across diverse settings, from large urban districts to small rural communities. Collectively, they represent a wide range of environments—urban, suburban, rural, and coastal—and all hold advanced degrees in education or related fields.

Description

This session will be tailored to Massachusetts educators.  Session topics include every stage of McKinney-Vento implementation: identification, enrollment, eligibility, school selection, transportation, dispute resolution, data collection, and liaison responsibilities. Facilitators also share practical strategies for balancing these duties alongside other professional responsibilities, with dedicated time for self-care and peer connection.


Each cohort is uniquely shaped by its members. Participants engage in scenario-based learning, real-world problem-solving, and open dialogue. Before sessions begin, members complete a brief survey to help guide focus areas and establish shared group goals and norms, ensuring every cohort experience is relevant, collaborative, and supportive.
