GET INVOLVED
ESSPOK.org is the online home for Education Services - Special Populations. We serve CTE professionals at every level. Whether you are a counselor in a major metropolitan setting or an agriculture instructor in a rural area, we all find ourselves serving students meeting the definition of "at-risk". Those students—and all the specific categories they fall into—are considered Special Populations.
How do we serve them most effectively? Which resources are best for them? All the questions of this nature are addressed through Education Services.
