We’re More Than
Professional Learning
Our Print Solutions team generates thousands of pages of customized print jobs every month. Our amazing tech support folks are hands-on in school districts – setting up networks, assisting with mobile device rollouts, and ensuring that district servers are up and running.
We run poverty paradigm simulations. We lease copy machines. We provide access to affordable health insurance. And we are helping thousands of educators invest their money for comfortable retirements.
Don’t limit yourself to just great professional learning opportunities.
Because we’re way more than just workshops and conference keynotes.
ESSDACK received a $700,00 federal grant designed to provide distance-learning software and hardware to create a network of connected rural teachers, learners, and classrooms designed to broaden learning opportunities. We’ll continue to expand this network, adding more distance learning opportunities for all of our rural communities.
Distance Learning
We’ve been supporting the appropriate use of technology tools ever since we opened our doors and continue to encourage the effective integration of tech as a critical part of instruction and learning.
Our team is available to assist you in a variety of ways by providing direct customer and end-user support, server and network management services, and management of CMS software. Their work also includes onsite services such as setting up and maintaining wireless networks, computer carts, and mobile devices.
