April 28 marks a VERY significant milestone in the implementation of the REAL curriculum and for Empowering Education. After delivering the curriculum package to Colorado Springs District 11 in late January, EE received news today that REAL has been approved by the district’s Board of Education!!!  Many thanks to all those involved and provided support.  One remaining milestone (although just a formality) will be the Board’s approval of the Service Contract agreement, scheduled for 24 June.  This will mark the final step in the path towards the last approval and implementation at Doherty High School in August 2010.  Going forward, EE is continuing to meet with the District to discuss potential partnerships in applying for federal and state grants that will be accessible to programs that support Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) like the REAL curriculum. Now that the REAL curriculum has been approved, EE will focus its efforts on fundraising, grant writing, and new and innovative ways to grow the program.
