We are delighted to begin working with Uintah Middle School, who is new to Education Lifeskills.

The Education Lifeskills team will be attending and speaking to superintendents from the state of Utah.

The Lifeskills Link implementation training will equip the American Fork HS admin team with a cognitive behavioral intervention platform that will help them better address the needs of their Tier 1 and Tier 2 students. The admin team is initially looking to shorten the number of days of out-of-school suspension and shorten the time of in-school suspension while improving the entire discipline experience into a more positive and restorative experience for all individuals affected by the negative behavior.

Cottonwood-Oak Creek School has utilized Lifeskills courses for the past school year and has plans to continue. The purpose of this upcoming training is as a refresher for staff members who have received prior training, as well as staff members who did not.

This month, we are facilitating the "Sustaining Restorative Culture"  workshop, the third segment in a series of professional development workshops developed for educators. Clarkdale-Jerome is already doing great work with their students and community, and we look forward to continuing to work with them in this endeavor.

Kingsville ISD is implementing the Education Lifeskills Intervention Site license for their middle school and high school. This program will equip staff and administrators with timely CBT Lifeskills courses that will help them move the needle toward being more restorative and less punitive with students who are at risk. Specifically, this program will help students reduce the time they spend in the DAEP (Disciplinary Alternative Education Program).

We will be onsite in Jerome-Clarkdale to conduct the Growing Restorative Culture workshop. This is the 2nd of 3 workshops that are designed to help staff take a restorative approach to work with at-risk students. This workshop specifically reinforces the need for humanity, empathy, and relationship building. It also addresses the various types of bias and allows participants to assess their level of cultural competencies.

Dixie High School has utilized Lifeskills courses for just over two years now, with a completion rate of 73.5%. We have the opportunity to provide a refresher training on our learning platform, Lifeskills Link, in-person and we look forward to it!
