Meet our Educational Service Unit Para Educators

Rhonda

Hello, my name is Rhonda Chada.
I have been working for the service unit for over 30 years. I have worked in about every area with students . I am recently working with kids in the living skills area. I have enjoyed working with students through the years. 

Kathy

Hello, my name is Kathy Moorhead and I have been a Para Educator for 23 years.  I worked in the area of Special Education at Ogallala Public Schools for 10 years before coming to ESU16 in 2008, where I work in the area of Speech and Language. I have also had the privilege to work with several of our preschool-aged autism students in providing and supporting ACC for communication in the past.  I am a sub for many of the West-end SLPs in their schools when needed and truly enjoy the variety that it provides for me.  

I am the coordinator for the ESU16 AT4ALL loan pool and courtesy fund, a PLC teacher lead, and maintain the time tracker for our teachers and districts.  I also provide some support for the Administrative Assistants in the ESU16 offices when needed.  

Colleen

Hello, my name is Colleen Mundis. I have been a Para Educator at ESU 16  since 1980 (yes, that is a long time).  For the last 20 years, I have been working with Speech Pathologists in the area of Speech and Language and support Dawn Schmitt with  Audiology.

In 2016, I was honored as one of Nebraska's Para Educators of the Year. I love my job and the ESU16 family.
