The Center for Learning Connections serves community and technical college administration in Washington State. The Appreciative Inquiry page on its Web site examines an approach to organizational change based on strengths rather than weaknesses, on a vision of what is possible rather than an analysis of what is not.

Washington State Learning First Alliance | Mental Health Resources
Washington State ASCD is in partnership with the Learning First Alliance an association dedicated to improving student learning in America's public schools. Together with the Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP), Washington State Board of Education, Washington State School Directors’ Association (WSSDA), Washington Association of School Administrators, Washington Education Association (WEA), Office of Superintendent and Public Instruction (OSPI), Washington State Parent Teacher Association (WSPTA); we share examples of success, encourage collaboration, and work toward the continual and long-term improvement of public education based on solid research.
The purpose of the Washington State Learning First Alliance (WSLFA) organization is to:
- ensure that high academic expectations are held for all Washington students;
- ensure a safe and supportive place of learning for all Washington students; and
- ensure that adequate resources and funding are provided to achieve these goals.
The most recent focus of the WSLFA is to ensure that schools, educators, and the families/students we serve are aware of the OSPI mental health resources available and to share them within the membership of the collective organizations.
Washington State ASCD believes in the five tenets of the Whole Child (WC) approach, which ensures each student is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. We understand that the support of physiological needs - a child’s safety, mental health and well-being – along with each of the WC tenets is fundamental for a positive learning environment and long-term student success.
To support educators, families, and children we want to highlight the behavioral resource guide from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).
