CESA 6

Summer is a great time to invest in your next step as an educator.

The CESA 6 RITE Additional Licensure Program is designed for licensed teachers who want to expand their credentials by adding a new license area or broadening their existing licensure.
This flexible, cost-effective program can be completed in less than a year and is built to work alongside your teaching career, making summer an ideal time to get started and plan ahead for the school year.

Whether you are exploring a new subject area or expanding your grade-level range, RITE helps you grow your skills and open new doors in your teaching career.

Summer offers a valuable pause, but it can also be a powerful time to intentionally strengthen connection and recognition across your school teams.

In Episode 382 of the CESA 6 Podcast, “For the Educators (Strategy),” Ted Neitzke shares research on the realities of the teaching profession, from hours worked to out-of-pocket classroom expenses, and offers a practical challenge for the summer months.

How can we use this season to increase staff engagement and meaningfully recognize educators for the work they have done all year?

The call to action is simple and doable: grab some notecards, a pen, and a few Forever stamps. Small, intentional gestures can have a lasting impact on the people we serve alongside.

Listen to Episode 382 and consider how you might use this summer to reconnect and re-engage your staff!

Happy Flag Day!

Today we celebrate the American flag and the ideals it represents: unity, perseverance, and opportunity.

As educators, we have the unique opportunity to help students understand our nation's history while empowering them to shape its future. Every lesson, conversation, and connection helps prepare the next generation to make a positive impact in their communities.

At CESA 6, we are grateful for the educators and leaders who dedicate themselves to this important work every day. Wishing you a meaningful Flag Day as we reflect on the values that bring us together and inspire us to keep moving forward.
