  1. Using Emotional Regulation to Manage Anger Professional Development Module for PBIS Early Learning Social Emotional Classroom Practices Georgia RESAs Designed for Pre-K through Grade 3 Educators

  2. Start with the HeartGet Georgia Reading Campaign In May 2014, The David, Helen, and Marian Woodward Fund-Atlanta awarded $1.6 million in funding over three years to partners in the Get Georgia Reading Campaign. Metro RESA in partnership with Atlanta Public Schools, DeKalb County School District, and Fulton County Schools utilized the funding to support the development of a prototype for improved learning climates for children, from birth through third grade, as a part of a larger effort to increase reading proficiency by the end of third grade. The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL), the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE), the Metro Regional Educational Service Agency (Metro RESA), and Georgia Family Connection Partnership, collaborated with clusters of high-need elementary schools and childcare centers as they strengthened the local infrastructure supporting improved learning climates in metro Atlanta. The aligned approach to improving school climate from preschool through elementary school is a critical component of a statewide effort to ensure all of Georgia’s children achieve third grade reading proficiency.
