ECHO-DU
ECHO-DU is part of a global model for providing virtual learning opportunities to professionals. While most ECHO sites focus on healthcare, ECHO-DU is one of a few focused on education. ECHO-DU participants collaborate with other educators in order to explore evidence-based practices and develop skills related to mental health, school health–wellness and school leadership.
Project ECHO typically consists of 8–12 weekly sessions of one to two hours each. During each session, there is a brief presentation highlighting the latest practices and resources on a given topic followed by time for questions and answers. One or two practitioners from the field then present a real-life case study.
An ideal ECHO comprises an interdisciplinary group of two to five thought leaders engaging with 15–30 participants — large enough to facilitate a variety of perspectives but small enough to ensure meaningful conversation.
