October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month! 🌟This week, we will share five CESA 8-produced videos showing students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) thriving in Youth Apprenticeships. Watch for the first video tomorrow on our Facebook page.

The CESA 8 Career and Life Ready Department hosted Engineering Tomorrow, in collaboration with three area districts: Suring, Lena, and Gillett. Students had fun learning about packaging engineering through an interactive lab competition. Thank you, Engineering Tomorrow!

Great things happen when we work together! CESA 8 joined Goodman-Armstrong Creek for a collaborative in-service on UDL, SLO/PPG, and ACP planning connected to their JFN goals. #CESA8 #Collaboration #Education

Look at this great group! 🌟 New teachers from across our region came together at CESA 8 for teacher induction training focused on collaboration, growth, and student success. #CESA8
