🎉 **Our popular *More Recess, More Learning? What School Leaders Need to Know About Play, Behavior, and Achievement* training is NOW AVAILABLE as an ASYNCHRONOUS MODULE!**

We’re taking a closer look at why recess is so much more than a break from learning and how school leaders can make intentional decisions that support the whole child.

📚 **In this FREE, self-paced module, you'll explore:**
✅ Updated guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics
✅ Connections between recess, learning, behavior, and school culture
✅ Why protecting recess matters
✅ Practical alternatives to withholding recess as punishment
✅ How play, belonging, and restorative practices can strengthen school experiences

💻 **Learn on your own time, at your own pace!**

Because sometimes, giving students more opportunities to move, play, and connect is exactly what they need to be more successful in the classroom.

We are excited to invite you to our next SESC Trauma-Informed Practices Cadre on Wednesday, November 4!

We know that trauma-informed practices, behavior, mental health, attendance, academics, and staff wellness are all connected. But how do we help others see those connections? More importantly, how do we move beyond individual initiatives and create a shared understanding that leads to meaningful, sustainable change?

During this session, we'll explore practical ways to engage staff, shift perspectives, and strengthen trauma-informed practices within a tiered delivery of services. We want this to be a conversation, not just another presentation! Come ready to share what's working, talk through challenges, and learn from others across our region.

Session Details:

Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2026

Time: 8:30–10:00 AM

PBIS school coaches and school administrators, mark your calendars for January 26!

We are excited to offer a PBIS Leadership & Coaching Training designed specifically for the individuals responsible for coaching, guiding, and supporting their school leadership teams in implementing PBIS with fidelity.

One thing we recognize is that being a PBIS coach or administrator doesn't automatically mean you've received training on how to lead your team through this work. Our goal is for you to leave feeling more equipped, more confident, and better prepared to support your team, regardless of where your school is in the implementation process!

So, who should attend?

-New to PBIS altogether? Build a strong foundation, understand the essential components, and learn where to start!

-New to your role as a PBIS coach or administrator? Whether PBIS is new to you or you've inherited an established team, gain practical tools and strategies to confidently lead and support the work.

-Been doing PBIS for years but need a refresh? Revisit the essentials, explore fresh ideas, and strengthen the systems you already have in place!

-Curious about what's new in PBIS? Explore updated resources, emerging practices, and the TFI 3.0 to see how they can strengthen your school's implementation!

Whether you're just getting started or have years of experience, this training is for you! We want to help you move beyond simply understanding PBIS to feeling confident in your ability to coach your team, facilitate meaningful conversations, build staff engagement, and guide implementation in your building.

Save the Date!

A small but mighty crew with BIG ideas! 💙

Friday, our MSD Cadre at Southeast South-Central Educational Cooperative turned learning into creating with LessonPix subscriptions, evidence-based strategies, and make-and-take visuals ready for the classroom!

Then Courtney Jones from Pulaski Elementary, Selena Combs from Southwestern High School, and Tari Gregory from West Irvine Elementary brought the heart: helping students build REAL friendships. Best Buddies International rounded out the day with even more possibilities for connection!

Our teachers left with more than ideas. They left with tools, inspiration, and possibilities for their students! 🙌
