ESU 5 is taking leadership in facilitating job alike networks, which meet throughout the year. Currently, Principals, Media Specialists, Elementary Reading Coordinators, Counselors and Leaders of Technology and Curriculum Coordinators are established.
School Improvement
The school improvement assistance offered by Educational Service Unit No 5 is currently being utilized by all ten school districts. All of the districts are continually involved in analyzing student achievement data, program data, perceptual data, and demographic data. ESU 5 professional developers are partners with the districts in this process. Once goals are identified, ESU 5 professional developers work with districts to identify, implement and monitor research-based strategies. ESU 5 provides support to schools by guiding them through the entire process of school improvement with the Accreditation Standards.
