Asynchronous ECHO K12 Education: Youth Well-being & Upstream Prevention (2025-2026)
By participating in ECHO Idaho K12 Education series, educators can earn professional development credit. Credit is offered in partnership with the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences and will be transcribed for FREE through the University of Idaho. Whether you join our sessions live or access them asynchronously, we recognize and appreciate your commitment to education. To learn more about the transcribed University of Idaho semester credit for our K12 Education series, please view this instructional guide.
The ECHO Upstream Prevention Series is a free, team-based professional development opportunity for Idaho K–12 schools focused on strengthening school-based prevention efforts that directly target areas of need identified through local data. Over the course of eight live, virtual sessions and seven asynchronous learning activities, school teams (4–6 members) will explore topics such as risk and protective factors, data collection and use, community and parent engagement, and sustainable prevention planning.
