Moving forward, the NESC will partner with Devils Lake Public Schools (DLPS) to provide support related to the Technology Learning Cooperative rotation. Ryan Wiberg, DLPS Curriculum Technology Partner, will attribute a portion of his time to this service. Ryan, Jamison, and the NESC and DLPS leadership have already begun working closely together to ensure a smooth transition for our member schools.
Welcome, Ryan!
Thank you, DLPS, for your partnership in this endeavor!

Beginning Teachers Collaborate Around Classroom Strategies
Thirty-one teachers from twelve districts across the NESC region met virtually throughout the past few months to study and refine strategies for student engagement and classroom management. This work was achieved through the NESC Beginning Teacher Network, facilitated by NESC School Improvement Specialist, Alyson Parsley, and in partnership with the ND Teacher Support System. The teachers made inspiring progress through their goal-setting, instructional plans, and capstone projects, and we look forward to working with our next cohorts in 2023-24!
