Mission update from Monica
What a wonderful start to the new school year! After an inspiring summer connecting at our leader and teacher trainings, we are energized by the incredible work happening.
Our team of dedicated coaches has been visiting schools and is amazed by the instruction they are seeing. The improvements we’ve made to the program this academic year are a direct result of valuable feedback from our partner educators, and we look forward to continuing to learn from your experiences.
The positive impact we are beginning to see is a testament to our shared vision. We look forward to continuing this collaborative journey through personalized coaching sessions that explore approaches to further enhance teaching and learning.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all who champion whole student learning and look forward to more opportunities to work together in the year ahead!
