Promising Practices

CPEMS member schools are invited to share with their peers their school’s programs and processes with which they have had success or are, at the very least, planning to implement soon. The CPEMS website will list the name of the program, the school in which it is being used, and the website schools may contact for further information. The Commission encourages each of you to submit a promising practice which can be used and shared.
