Hey, I'm Nic van Oss 👋

I am the MTSS & School Climate Specialist at the St. Croix River Education District in east central Minnesota, and I also run our district's communications. My background and training is School Psychology; I received Educational Specialist and Masters degrees from the University of Delaware.

• 📈 I created this website in 2017 in order to share the iAscend project with the world. At that time, my district had purchased a subscription to an enterprise software platform and no longer needed iAscend.

• ❤️ I am also the creator and primary author of the Be Good People life skills curriculum. You can learn much more about my work by visiting my district's Life Skills website. 

• 🌎 Be Good People and my broader school climate work have led to consultation and training across the country, including California, Connecticut, Michigan, Nebraska, and more. 

• 🌐 I also created my district's Case Manager Resources website, and I manage our main district website.
