Description
Assessment, professional learning communities, managing grant activities — these are just a small sampling of what we do in staff development. Our primary focus, in providing innovation, leadership and service to our districts, is increasing student achievement.
Educational Service Unit #1 strives to be a leader in all aspects of education. We continually examine our practices to determine if our mission and goals represent who we are as a partner to area school districts.
ESU #1 is headquartered in Wakefield and provides a variety of special education, staff development, technology and media services to 25 school districts in its six-county area. Educational Service Units were created by the Unicameral in 1965 and were initially independent. They were later placed under the jurisdiction of the Nebraska Department of Education. Historically, the purpose of the ESU has been to provide services that individual school districts could not economically or efficiently provide for themselves.
What does this look like? It might be that we are in the district working to help staff align their curriculum to state standards. Perhaps it is pulling districts together at the ESU to rethink schooling, in particular the high school. Sometimes it means working with a small team of teacher leaders from schools to develop a data retreat they can facilitate with their staff.
