Colorado Educator Support Blog
Welcome to our new blog! In keeping with our own growth mindset philosophy, we are also trying something new. While we update the website with new information and strategies, we also wanted a place to go a little deeper. We’ll let you know about any updates to the program, what we’ve been hearing from you, reflections on this work, and some insight into the behind the scenes.
We’d also love to hear from you! If you have thoughts or ideas you’d like to share (you can even do it anonymously) reach out to us at coloradoeducatorsupport@cuanschutz.edu and we’ll get you on the calendar to write a guest post!

Anniversaries
Anniversary. For some, this word may immediately bring to mind a celebratory event, like a milestone in a relationship or longevity at a job. For others, the image may be more somber – the first holiday after a loved one has died or the date of a traumatic event. And …
Four Years Ago
Wow, I can't believe it's been that long. It's been almost four years since COVID upended life for everyone. We all had to learn about a "new normal" and four years later we're still trying to make up for all that we missed during that time.
