The SSEP National Blog is used to provide program information to participating community leaders, administrators, teachers, students and families; funders; and other stakeholders. This page was created to house: blog post templates for recurring mission life cycle milestones, and the associated archives of posts for prior missions. The objective is to create a set of turn-key blog posts across a mission lifecycle. [Sections 2 and 3 below]
This page also contains archives of posts for one-time SSEP-related Teachable Moments in the News. [Section 1 below]
