Our Mission

Educational Support Services

The Educational Support Services (ESS) Department at the Shasta County Office of Education (SCOE) provides high-quality service and support to help districts build effective systems that enable students to thrive.
Our department collaborates with teachers, instructional coaches, administrators, and education leaders at both the school and district levels to foster systematic, sustainable improvement processes. We emphasize capacity-building by developing the knowledge and skills educators need to analyze data, identify trends, and implement research-based practices that drive positive outcomes.
Through this collaborative approach, we support schools and districts in establishing continuous learning cycles to improve instruction, strengthen leadership, and create student-centered environments. Our commitment to sharing current, evidence-based strategies ensures that our educational partners are equipped to meet the evolving needs of students, educators, and communities across Shasta County.

  • Developing processes for high-quality curriculum and instructional resources to support effective teaching and learning.

  • Sharing information between the State of California and districts across the county to ensure alignment and up-to-date practices.

Through these areas of focus, SCOE partners with schools and districts to create systematic, student-centered improvements that enhance educational outcomes and promote continuous growth.
