Southeast South-Central Educational Cooperative

Teachers from across the region recently joined us for Day 5 of the ElevatED professional learning series, completing a five-day journey throughout the school year focused on the Kentucky Framework for Teaching. During the final session, participants explored Assessment: Alignment and Rigor in the morning and received an introduction to Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) in the afternoon. Across the series, teachers engaged in each component of the framework and gained practical strategies to strengthen instruction and positively impact students across our region. We are grateful for the dedication these educators show to continually growing their practice and strengthening learning for students across our region! #sesccoop #servingyou

Some of SESC's Mental Health ACCESS Team spent Monday in Wayne County at the District Community Leadership Team meeting, and it was an incredible day of collaboration and connection! 🤝

Six community members joined district leaders along with representatives from local mental health agencies to share the resources and supports they can provide to students who need behavioral and social-emotional support. It was powerful to see so many partners coming together with a shared commitment to supporting students and families.

The day also included interviews with district leaders reflecting on the ACCESS grant and the important work that has taken place over the past year.

It was truly a great day in the district for our team, and we are grateful for the strong partnerships in Wayne County that continue to support student success! 🌟
