When Kids Say, "I'm not a Reader"
"I'm not a reader." It's a statement educators may hear too often.
Reading is a skill that anyone can grow to love, but for many kids an early negative experience may have stunted that growth.
NCEC has formed a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Task Force to research options for an SEL program that could be implemented across the region. Potential benefits for schools are a reduced cost if a regional license is purchased and support for professional development and implementation.
If you have suggestions or would like to serve on the task force, contact Katie Saykally for more information.

Career Exploration Tool Available for Students and Teachers
One of the things we are missing most here at NCEC is the time we used to have in the classroom with students.
Although not as fun for us, we still wanted to be able to offer a resource to our schools and students even if we couldn't present it in person.
The Career Exploration resource is an interactive tool that allows educators to work through a variety of career exploration tasks with students, or lets students work independently at their own pace.
