Game-Changer Spotlight Recognition

The End of the School Year is Near. Have You Completed a Co-teaching Check-up?

At CEC, we believe that every victory—big or small—deserves to be seen. Whether it’s a creative lesson, a moment of compassion, or a behind-the-scenes effort that made the day smoother, we recognize that school staff are making a difference every single day.

This space is here to allow you to shine a light on those moments. By recognizing your peers, you help build a culture of appreciation, connection, and shared success across our schools.

Take a minute to celebrate someone—you might just make their day.
