Please fill out the survey below to inform us on ways you would like to refresh your learning for the 2022-2023 school year.

In order to prepare program content with your needs in mind we ask that you complete this survey. Please provide feedback on topics you would like to see addressed, the content delivery format that works best for you, and your most significant needs.

We are continually looking to improve our offerings and services in Teaching and Learning here at Region 10. As such we are inviting all instructional staff at all levels in our districts and charters to provide feedback and input for upcoming professional learning opportunities by completing this survey.

Join us at one of the five roadshows across our region this summer. See roadshow locations and information here.

We are so excited to share that Region 10 in partnership with Fusion Academy and Reflections Lifestyle Center is hosting a 2022 Counseling Conference. The theme this year is "Illuminate the Path: Ways to a Brighter Tomorrow." The event will be held at Region 10 ESC on Tuesday, October 4, 2022, from 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

With summer quickly approaching, youth across Texas are eager for their break from school.We have compiled a list of activities across the state that are available this summer. With activities focusing on art, nature, science, and more, these ideas are accessible for youth and mentors in every corner of Texas.

A message from our local YMHFA Outreach Manager:

As summer is approaching, we want to invite you to share a couple of open educator classes with your staff incase they are interested in taking the course over the summer. These classes tend to fill up each year and we hope we see the same great response this year as well! Class size is limited, reserve your place today!

Keep in mind that we are happy to bring YMHFA to your campus for staff development days – we have funding for ALL school staff through 2023! We are scheduling classes now, so please let me know if you would like to get on the calendar for the summer or in August!
