?? ECHO education partners in Enid, OK, are building their capacity and improving student outcomes through learning-centered AI technology. ?? ECHO, Khan Academy, and Oklahoma State University partnered to develop an AI teaching assistant called Khanmigo. Our partners at Enid High School implemented Khanmigo through the ECHO Model. Educators gathered for virtual learning sessions where they discussed using Khanmigo to develop efficient tracking systems — for homework and classroom assignments — and monitor student progress. Stephanie Garis, a math teacher at Enid High School, shares how Khanmigo has helped her identify where students need extra support and provide them with targeted lessons: “Some of my kids have holes in their algebra skills Khanmigo helps me fill in those holes.” Learn more about the impact of Khanmigo in our community story: https://lnkd.in/g_8JViTG #education #aiclassroom

ECHO programs in Latin America are expanding access to mental health care. With eight mental health programs running in the region, health care workers and specialists utilize the ECHO Model to develop services in underserved communities. Together, workers and specialists are building a network of knowledge and collective support. Dr. Sandra Romano, ECHO program coordinator at The University of the Republic in Uruguay, describes how the ECHO Model builds the capacity of both mental health providers and systems: “Many smaller towns and villages [in Latin America] lack mental health teams. ECHO helps build capacity so that primary care providers can offer mental health services to the population, in tandem with support from city or urban providers.” To learn more, read “Strengthening Mental Health Systems: ECHO Partners in Latin America” here:?https://lnkd.in/gH69ZHX5 Corporación RENATA_ ___ [Spanish] Los programas de ECHO en América Latina están ampliando el acceso a la atención de salud mental.

“The Peer Education Program has enabled the New Mexico Corrections Department to share a powerful message of mentorship. Peer educators connect with inmates in a way that staff cannot. This connection is invaluable, especially when addressing critical topics such as health care and reentry into society.” Alisha Tafoya Lucero, cabinet secretary of the New Mexico Corrections Department, reflects on the life-changing impact of the New Mexico Peer Education ECHO Program. The Peer-to-Peer Education Program Guide, published by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, highlights the New Mexico Peer Education ECHO Program and offers step-by-step instructions for developing peer education programs in correctional facilities. ??
