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.
Who Should Attend?
Elementary Educators
Literacy Coaches & Specialists
Reading Interventionists
Instructional Leaders
Don’t miss this opportunity to prepare for this assessment requirement and to support impactful literacy instruction. Secure your spot today!
FREE for those within ESU 7 and within the CLSD Consortium. $50 fee for all others.

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!

A networking event that’s actually fun and counts as professional development (PD) should feel more like an experience than a lecture. Think interactive, low-pressure, and practical—where people leave with both new connections and something they can use right away.
Blend networking with hands-on learning so participants:
Build meaningful connections
Share real strategies
Walk away with ready-to-use ideas
Participants will list two new strategies learned during the session.
Participants will complete a reflection identifying one change they plan to implement.
Participants will engage in at least one structured peer discussion activity.

Start the day by strengthening your Indicator 13 self-assessment skills and meeting data reporting requirements. Then, get ready to dig into your student data! Discover how gathering and analyzing information from multiple sources before writing a transition-focused IEP transforms planning from a compliance task into a meaningful process. Learn how to uncover each student's Strengths, Preferences, Interests, and Needs (SPIN), identify gaps, and use the information to drive purposeful transition assessments, stronger PLAAFPs, and high-quality IEPs that truly prepare students for life after high school. Bring your curiosity—we'll help you turn student data into intentional transition planning! Lunch will be on your own.
