ESU #1 Central Office
Mission: Providing Innovation, Leadership and Service
Educational Service Unit #1 proudly serves children in school districts in Cedar, Dakota, Dixon, Knox, Thurston and Wayne counties in northeast Nebraska.
ESU #1 is headquartered in Wakefield and provides a wide range of services to 23 school districts, including professional development, digital learning and internet services, and student support for individuals with special needs.
Educational Service Units were created by the Nebraska Unicameral in 1965. The purpose of the ESU is to provide services that individual school districts cannot economically or efficiently provide for themselves.
Vision: ESU #1 will model excellence by helping schools increase educators effectiveness and student learning as a result of expert services.
What's new with ESU #1
We have two CPI trainings here today, one for new certifications and one refresher. We will be utilizing a hybrid learning system for both training options. Part of the training took place independently using an online classroom and part will take place in person here today.
We have a High Ability Learners Workshop here today. Sheyanne Meadows, NDE High Ability Learner Consultant, will provide resources, strategies and instruction on how to assist HALs in the classroom.
