Transform your data into action! Join us for a hands-on professional development session designed to streamline your literacy instruction and accelerate student growth. This workshop provides the essential tools and knowledge to navigate the DIBELS 8th Edition framework and the mCLASS platform with confidence.
Why Now? NDE has identified DIBELS 8th Edition as the single statewide reading screener to ensure consistent outcomes for all K-3 students. To support this transition, the state has established the following implementation timeline:
2026-2027 School Year: Districts are strongly encouraged to implement the screener during this "hold harmless" transition year.
2027-2028 School Year: Full implementation of DIBELS 8th Edition is required for all Nebraska public schools.
This session focuses on practical application and data-driven decision-making. By the conclusion of the workshop, you will be able to:
1) Understand the "Why": Explain how DIBELS 8th Edition targets the core early literacy skills necessary for developing proficient readers.
2) Master the "How": Build fluency in administering and scoring mCLASS assessment measures with precision, ensuring adherence to standardized guidelines.
3) Analyze the Data: Move beyond the scores to interpret student data and pinpoint specific instructional needs for your classroom.
4) Plan with Purpose: Navigate the mCLASS library of targeted, skills-focused lessons to design effective, differentiated instruction for every learner.

Are you in your first 1–3 years as a Career and Technical Education (CTE) teacher, counselor, or administrator? Are you a high school counselor navigating course registration, course coding, career development, or dual credit? A building administrator stepping into the world of CTE for the first time? Maybe you’re new to CTE funding, including Perkins and the CTE State Grant. Or perhaps you’ve joined a district with a strong CTE growth plan and are wondering what you’re inheriting.
If you answered “yes” to any of these, this workshop was designed with you in mind! Join us for the New to CTE Workshop, a fun, informative, and supportive session focused on all things CTE.
You’ll gain a clear understanding of:

- The big-picture view of CTE—from programs and pathways to funding and compliance
Whether you’re in the classroom, counseling office, or main office, you’ll leave with practical knowledge, helpful contacts, and greater confidence in navigating CTE in our region.
This is an in person only event, taking place at ESU 7 in the north building, Oak/Maple conference rooms.
Come get connected, get informed, and get energized about CTE—we can’t wait to welcome you!
