Genesis Groups - Connecting our Efforts Across the State
The CREC is connecting diverse groups of leaders, educators, and partners across the state to discover, share, leverage resources, and plan action around the following high priority areas.

On November 10th Ellen Sarkisian and Maggie Mather gave a Professional Development training on Generation Schools Network's Advocacy program to the teachers of Sargent Elementary, Middle, and High School. The training covered the basics of Social and Emotional Learning, and a detailed review of GSN's curriculum. Also included in the training was an overview of mindfulness, and an example mindfulness activity in the form of a guided seated meditation. If you need to improve your school culture, better connect to students and families, improve attendance, reduce negative behaviors, improve SEL skills and ensure every student has an I-CAP, see information below on the SEL RFP and apply for SEL supports for your district.
STEM -
San Luis Valley (SLV) STEM Professional Development
San Luis Valley teachers came together on Friday November 10th at Sierra Grande School to share STEM Skills and pedagogical concepts with their peers. Staff also had the opportunity to participate in some hands on STEM learning around the concepts of design engineering and nanotechnology.
