Even when you use HPC regularly, questions can still crop up. Cheryl Neuhaus from HPC will field those questions on August 24th as she leads a virtual refresher for Medicaid providers.

Join her virtually to ask questions and gain clarity.

For families navigating special education, information is only part of what they need. They also need people in their corner who can help them understand it, ask the right questions, and find their way forward.

Welcome, Ashley!

Some years begin with more questions than answers. But sometimes, not every question needs to be answered before we begin.

There are still students walking through our doors who need to be noticed. There are lessons to teach, questions worth asking, ideas to wrestle with, and those moments when something finally clicks.

We may not know exactly where the year is going.

But we still know why we’re here.

When a student is ready for more, it doesn’t mean they need less from us.

We’re pleased to welcome Heather Searight to the ESCLC as our new Gifted Coordinator. Heather will help ensure gifted learners are understood, challenged, and provided an environment to keep discovering just how far their abilities can take them.

Welcome to the team, Heather!

Some of the most important things we learn about students show up in small moments.

A comment before class. Something mentioned while everyone is settling in. A story that takes all of 30 seconds to tell.

Little details are easy to miss during the busyness of the first weeks. But when you remember one later, it can say quite a lot.

I was listening. I remembered. You matter here.

There’s a lot to learn as a new special education teacher that doesn’t come from a manual.

Taya Neuman understands the nuances of the work and will help teachers navigate them, find what works, and build connections with colleagues along the way.

Join her for a three-session series beginning August 17th or 25th.

BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS BUILDING STRONG FOUNDATIONS

Before the first lesson is taught, students are already learning something about their classroom.

They're learning what gets noticed. What sparks curiosity. What kinds of stories are welcome.

The questions we ask help shape that message.

As you prepare for a new school year, research tells us that making small shifts may lead to more meaningful conversations and deeper trust.

We're excited to welcome Beth Diedrick to our team!

As a Pre-School Special Education Consultant with State Support Team Region 2, Beth will partner with educators to strengthen preschool special education services and support young learners across the region.

Understanding how reading develops can change the way we respond when students struggle.

AIM Pathways to Proficient Reading is designed to help you connect reading research to everyday instruction. Through an exploration of language development, reading theory, and evidence-based practices, participants will build knowledge that can inform instruction and support stronger outcomes for students.

Deadline to register: August 15th
