Testimonials
All students deserve to learn, and it is our job as educators to reach and meet the needs of all students – not just the 30 percent there to learn. Finally, I am part of a district that is fostering such a vision and mission! Finally, there is a center for educational reform (The Schlechty Center) out there reaching and teaching districts and schoolhouses across the nation and inspiring such a vision and mission!
The WOW Conference was incredible. I came away with a deeper understanding of the framework and have already implemented the "systems" thinking resources into our Central Office staff meetings.
Thank you for the ideas and the motivation. I always learn so much when I'm with you...even things I didn't expect.
