With over three decades of experience in supporting education professionals nationwide, SERVE at UNC Greensboro is pleased to announce new services for state education agencies, local education agencies, nonprofit organizations, foundations, and other educational organizations. These services encompass professional development, policy/program development, grants management, data analysis/management, strategic planning, and needs assessments. Our focus areas include homeless education, early childhood education, foster care programs, dropout prevention, increased graduation rates, and more.
SERVE is uniquely equipped to collaborate with state and local education agencies thanks to our staff’s extensive knowledge, skills, and experiences that align with the specific goals and requirements of federal government programs and initiatives. Our collective experience has resulted in high-quality implementation of federal programs, actionable insights, and tangible benefits for educators, as evidenced by years of positive evaluations.
Upcoming Presentations
Join Suzanne Peck, SERVE Program Specialist, at the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth (NAEHCY) Conference, November 16-19, 2024 as she leads a preconference workshop and two conference presentations.
- Preconference Session: Early Childhood Education Committee session – facilitating “The Brain Architecture Game” activity
- Conference Session Title: Creating Collaborative Partnerships with Early Childhood Education/Intervention Partners: Challenges and Best Practices
- Session Description: Required partnerships are listed within the McKinney-Vento Statue. Do you know who they are? Do you know what services they provide? This session will discuss the landscape of early childhood education and intervention, which programs need to be at the table, and practical strategies for effectively building collaborative relationships to meet the needs of our youngest learners. We will highlight the efforts made in Nevada to streamline identification and services.
- Conference Session Title: Beyond Free Lunch & Tennis Shoes: Enhancing MTSS to Set Students Experiencing Homelessness Up for Success
- Session Description: Students experiencing homelessness will benefit from the implementation of a Multi-tiered System of Support with an Early Warning System built explicitly around the ABC+PG model for examining Attendance, Behaviors, Coursework/Credit Accrual, Physical Needs, plus Graduation support. This session will provide tools to identify unique needs by analyzing student-level data, assessing needs, and tracking progress. These tools are designed so participants can easily incorporate this high-impact service model into current MTSS processes or establish an MTSS to meet the specific needs of youth experiencing homelessness so they can access an excellent education and build hope for their futures.
