The SEEC has a Consortium for Applicant Tracking software!

Quickly and efficiently bring the very best talent into your school district. 

Hiring shouldn't make you want to weep - unless they're tears of joy. Our applicant tracking tools (formerly AppliTrack Recruiting) make it easy to navigate even the most complex hiring processes, so you can quickly find and hire your next great employee.

The SEEC Consortium consists of 21 member districts and it provides implementation and user support along with a listserv and meetups to share best practices, tips and tricks for users to make the most of the product.

Getting Hearts Pumping With Healthy Schools Pilot Program
A new and exciting Healthy Schools Pilot Program is getting students hearts pumping!

In the Fall of 2016 the SEEC put the call out to its member schools to find 10 individual school buildings to take part in this exciting pilot project. Each school building was asked to make a three-year commitment to the program, designate a PAL, establish a Wellness Team, complete different school assessments, and collect data that would support an overall evaluation plan. 
 
An incr5edible incentive for the pilot schools was a set of 24 innovative Adidas ZONE wrist-based heart rate technology and software from Interactive Healthy Technologies.
 
Mark your calendar for the 2017 Healthy Schools Summit!

Become a Data Champion - Part 1
We LOVE hearing
the IMPACT
you're making
Technology Corner

  
 Is your relationship status with data "complicated" to say the least?
 
For many, they love when data makes sense and they hate it when it doesn't. For others, this relationship may be non-existent or even a long-term separation.
 
Whatever your relationship status is, we're here to help and have hooked you up with the perfect matchmaker




We know there are great stories out there about the impacts you are making on your students, in your school, district and community.
We want to hear them and we want to help you SHARE them!
The more we know and collaborate with one another the better we become as a whole.
       
 
Why we need to learn to LOVE edtech in our classrooms

Technology is everywhere, entwined in almost every part of our lives. It affects how we shop, socialize, connect, play, and most importantly learn. With their great and increasing presence in our lives it only makes sense to have mobile technology in the classroom. Yet there are some schools that are delaying this imminent future of using technology in the classroom as the valuable learning tool it is.
Save the Dates!
