=Promoting 21st Century Learning in Northeast Nebraska= Educational Service Units 1, 8, and 17 have joined forces to form the Northeast Nebraska Network Collaboration (NNNC). The Perkins Coordinators from each agency have partnered to develop a common 5-year strategic plan. This plan reflected input gained through planning sessions with Northeast Community College, Nebraska Department of Education, Partnerships for Innovation, Norfolk Public Schools and South Sioux City Schools. The NNNC 2011-12 collaborative grant application was written based on communication and collaboration with these multiple partners. The three ESUs share a common grant proposal, implementation strategies, and grant monitor. In addition to innovative planning and implementation, the NNNC features numerous professional development opportunities for teachers.
