RECESS Partnership Development Series:
Successful Collaboration for Early Childhood Partnerships- Virtual Learning Series

In these last few months, school districts, early learning programs (and families) have adapted and grown to meet the complex safety and educational needs of children. Partnerships are the perfect opportunity to harvest and share all that we have learned! Successful collaboration is a crucial element in moving us through both the current challenges and planning for what’s next in our programs. These modules have been intentionally designed for all stages of partnership development including: Vision and Goal Setting, Collaborative Decision Making, Leadership Transitions, and much more! Modules can be taken independently or as a comprehensive set.

Statement from the SECA Governing Board: "Due to the rising cases of COVID throughout our country SECA has made the difficult decision to transition to a virtual format for our 2021 conference. We are saddened that we will not be able to meet with old friends and colleagues or make new ones.
However, the health and safety of our members, presenters, exhibitors, and staff are of the utmost importance. We will continue to provide updates as decisions are made. Stay safe!"
