Redleaf Resources Information

Redleaf Resources has working relationships with professionals who are experts in all named areas. It is these professional relationships that make up the team of "Resources" who are available to meet a wide range of individual and systemic needs. Redleaf Resourcesis best known for the development of theRedleaf Resources (RR) Student Assistance Program Model (SAP). The RR SAP has been replicated in other public school districts, most notably eight selected school districts of Riverside County's 23 school districts, becoming available to over 100,000 students and their families. This replication was possible because of a federal Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative Grant co-written by Ms. Ryan and Mr. Rothblatt. The Riverside County Office of Education was the grant LEA and the grant was known locally as Connect to Achieve. Jim Rothblatt and Jan Ryan hold the copyright on RR SAP, now known as BRRIIM. They are the only authorized trainers for this Family Centered Indicated Prevention Services Model that addresses any and all barriers to learning. This comprehensive RR SAP Model includes all three Institute of Medicine populations of prevention education/intervention: 1) Universal; 2) Selected; and 3) Indicated. In these days of tight fiscal resources, Redleaf Resources excels in utilizing existing resources for maximum efficiency and capacity. A prime example is expertise in developing intelligently designed "needs-based" school-site Master Schedules. Jim Rothblatt has had years of experience at both the middle school and high school levels in creating student needs-based curriculum delivery systems, e.g. Master Schedules, with maximum staff input that met student needs and intersts and worked with staff strengths. Jim Rothblatt has opened school with Master Schedules in place that were balanced and conflict free. He also created "a school within a school" using existing staff resources that addressed "at risk" students needs, without any additional financial costs and with reduced class size as compared to the rest of the high school.
