The Red River Valley Education Cooperative (RRVEC, based in Grand Forks) serves 23 school districts including Grand Forks and the schools directly north and south of Grand Forks.
The RRVEC’s Succeed 2020 project is focused on advancing the work of Robert Marzano in the areas of instructional strategies and his teacher evaluation model. The RRVEC’s project also assists school counselors expand their use of the RU Ready ND resources with their students.

The project career advisors assist schools by providing ongoing support to school counselors and teachers on the use of the RU Ready ND resources and the Roads to Success curriculum.
