PINE Accelerator

What is the PINE Accelerator?

The PINE Accelerator is a virtual, hybrid training that prepares teams to adopt, tailor, and implement the program within their schools.

Who participates in the Accelerator?

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

By the end of the Accelerator, each PLT will leave with a customized and comprehensive plan for how to successfully launch PINE at their school.

“I am just so excited that finally our school will be able to utilize all PINE’s great resources and knowledge! The Accelerator sessions were so eye opening and left me wanting to do and know more. So glad I now have that opportunity.”

“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.”
