Dear Partners in Education, 

As we step into the dawn of a new year, we are excited to bring you the January edition of our newsletter, dedicated to the invaluable work of developing instructional frameworks in collaboration with school districts. This month's newsletter is designed to serve as a beacon, guiding you through the latest insights, best practices, and innovations in educational framework development. 

This edition contains milestone dates, resources and meeting reminders. Pay special attention to the scheduled AP Kick-off date in February. All Approved Providers and ESCs are required to attend.  

As we collectively strive to shape the future of education, your role in crafting robust instructional frameworks is paramount. We appreciate your dedication to this noble cause and look forward to supporting your efforts in the coming year. 

Wishing you a prosperous and impactful January! 

Warm regards, 

The Strong Foundations Planning Team
