ESU #8 HAPPENINGS!

We have pictures to share!

This first picture shows Audrey Loosvelt, Chyrel Remmers, and Michelle Kluver, all from Madison, at the Angel Training that was held at the ESU. The training was held for two days, in September.

Angel, which stands for, A New Global Environment for
Learning, is a web-
based software that allows teachers to create and manage classes online. Approximately 45 teachers and staff attended this training.

This second picture is Ona Ebson and Russ Lechtenberg from West Boyd Public Schools. They were among the 26 who attended the Data Retreat workshop at the Service Unit in July. Their primary goal that day was to review student data on reading assessments for the common School Improvement Plan.
