Join SESC in partnership with KDE for this 3-part learning series on Student Success. This 3 part series is designed to support districts across the state in advancing student success. Sessions are open to all SESC Districts, regardless of where you are in the process of building a local accountability system. The series is open to districts that still need to create a portrait of a learner, as well as districts that are in the implementation phase. Sessions are designed as a cohort experience, with the expectation that participating districts will commit to all three sessions to build momentum and foster ongoing collaboration. #sesccoop #servingyou REGISTER HERE: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L3ge6vezcrWhWs2gglq13YRP0vLAS8sk9i0qFNyxOEQ/edit?usp=sharing
