Texas Association of School Psychologists

This session provides an overview of the Texas Collaborative for Emotional Development in Schools (TxCEDS), an interagency collaborative group formed by the Texas Education Agency, whose purpose is to develop a guiding policy for schools and local education agencies on how to identify and alleviate social and emotional barriers to learning. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have a better understanding of (a) existing and emerging wellness models and effective interventions, (b) how to develop collaborative partnerships for school-based social, emotional, and behavioral support systems, and (c) how to identify and allocate needed resources to establish a continuum of support services. Participants at all skill levels are invited to attend.
