Education Support Cell
The ESC is a team of experts who report to TLDE (Training, Leader Development, and Education) and interface with the training base, QAO, the Commandants, and Staff and Faculty Development Division.

Early Attrition Survey
Training, Leader Development and Education (TLDE) as well as Educational Support Cell (ESC) encourages you to take this survey for your Civil Affairs (CA) course, Psychological Operations (PSYOP) course, or Special Forces (SF) course. Please continue if you meet all of the following criteria:
1) You have successfully completed the Assessment and Selection phase of the course.
2) You have been recycled or relieved.
3) You have been counseled by Cadre or a significant enough amount of time has elapsed and you are confident counseling will not occur in the near future.
4) You understand that the answers you provide are anonymous but critical to our understanding the course from your perspective.

ESC Tips and Strategies Newsletter
The ESC in coordination with TLDE publishes a monthly article that highlights a best practice in teaching and learning. Topics are requested by the USAJFKSWCS community or stem from discussions held in the Instructional Leaders Course (ILC) or from pertinent trends in the field of education. Due to the overall response and interest to our monthly newsletters which are archived below, the ESC has created instructional workshops available now by request. To learn more about how to schedule and request an instructional workshop at your unit, please contact Dr. Lorae Roukema at lroukema@ttp-usa.com.
