NESC 2022-2023 Annual Impact Report | |
Our seven Regional Education Agencies (REAs) across North Dakota support schools within five legislated service areas: 1) professional development, 2) technology support services, 3) assistance with school improvement, 4) collection, analysis, reporting, and interpretation of student achievement data, and 5) expansion and enrichment of curricular offerings. Each year, information related to our delivery of services is collected, compiled, and studied within and across the REAs. We want to ensure that we are continuously improving our programs and services for the greatest possible support of our students, educators, and schools. | |
