Employee Express
What is Employee Express?
Easy, secure, private. Eliminate some of the paper process to your payroll or personnel records and view your leave & earnings statements on-line quicker. Employees can change tax withholdings, update mailing address, print out W2s, start or stop TSP contributions, and during Health Benefits Open Season enroll in or make changes to their health insurance.
New Standards
Bureau of Indian Education Standards
Educational standards are the learning goals for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Education standards are not a curriculum. Local communities and educators choose their own curriculum with a detailed plan for day to day teaching. The standards are what students need to know and be able to do, and curriculum is how students will learn it.
Trauma-Informed Practices
Recognizing Signs of Stress
Behavioral Health
Mental Well-being
BIE defines behavioral health (BH) as the emotions and behaviors relating to a student’s mental well-being and their ability to function in everyday life. Examples of BH issues include substance use, psychological distress, self-harm, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Schools must have a specific plan for quickly assisting students who are dealing with BH issues or struggling with transitioning back to school.
Social and Emotional Learning
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process in which students understand, recognize, and manage emotions, create and accomplish positive goals, understand and demonstrate empathy for others, develop and maintain positive and safe relationships, and foster decision-making skills. Addressing any educational gaps students may have experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is critical.
