Without Jessica Pangerl, HS SpEd teacher in Pine City 💚🤍, social skills instruction across our member districts might look very different!
Years ago, Jessica researched a curriculum called School-Connect and purchased it for her classroom. In 2022, she introduced it to Nic and Kevin, School-Connect was added to the SCRED Lending Library, other teachers loved it, and from there it was an easy choice to apply for the grant that put School-Connect in the hands of nearly 50 behavior interventionists and SpEd teachers across our districts. Because of Jess and her collaborative spirit, hundreds of students will continue to benefit for years to come!
This 📸 was taken during another collaboration session between these three. Nic was asked to present two webinars for MDE this spring, one on social skills instruction, and Jess was again a generous thought partner to help make sure the scope & sequence planning resources we share with the state are top notch. Thank you, Jess! 🙌😊
