As co-presenters, Dr. Colleen Capper and Dr. Elise Frattura bring a combined history of over 63 years of distance learning experience to the Virtual Institutes.

The ICS Framework and Process builds the “collaborative equity capacity” of the entire organization through team implementation. The ICS Institutes rely on intentional teams to learn about the Framework and Process to implement ICS in their setting.
An individual or two from an organization may attend the Annual National ICS Virtual Institute to learn about the work to be able to invite teams from their setting to attend future ICS Virtual Institutes.
Moving beyond piecemeal equity efforts, the ICS Framework and Process advances equity systems change–from a deficit to a proactive system.
ICS is not an initiative, a model, or a workshop. The ICS Four Cornerstone Framework and Process forms the core and provides a framework for all of the organization’s work.
We can provide a one-half day overview of the ICS Framework and Process as a way to introduce the work and to help participants decide on hosting or attending a 3-day ICS Institute.
We also provide custom professional development for organizations who have completed an ICS Institute to deepen the work.
The 2022 Annual National ICS Institutes will be held virtually, via synchronous online learning. The Annual National ICS Institutes Part I and Part II are designed for teams (e.g, district leadership team, school leadership team, state teams, regional teams, association teams, and other organizational teams).
The ICS Virtual Institute Part I , 3-day event, is designed to introduce teams to the ICS Equity Framework and Process.
The ICS Virtual Institute Part II: Co-Plan to Co-serve to Co-Learn (C3)™, 3-day event, is designed for teams to engage more deeply with the Co-Plan to Co-Serve to Co-Learn (C3) process.
Teams find the ICS Virtual Institutes invaluable as they experience various activities within each Digital Module that teams will in turn facilitate in their settings. The Annual National Virtual Institutes provide extensive time for teams to collaborate on each of the ICS Steps and to create their ICS Action Plan to carry the work forward in their setting.
