Who participates in the Accelerator?

Each school or organization will identify a small interdisciplinary team of staff members to participate in the training as a part of their PINE Leadership Team (PLT).

“Our PINE Leadership Team came to realize that we want students to see their best selves reflected in our school, so they created goals that will improve the pathways of information between specialists and teachers, center neurodiversity in their planning and spaces, and create a community where neurodivergent students feel accepted and valued.”
