School reform is a very important and challenging endeavor. Listen to the parents, teachers, administrators and students speak about this award-winning reform project. An extraordinary school requires buy-in and a common language, tools and processes for everyone involved in the school community.
Principal: It takes a lot of time. Of course, it takes a lot of time away from what we are here to do, but we can’t do what we are charged to do unless we have the kids ready to accept what we’re charged to do, and this is a way of getting them ready. In the long run, I view it as saving time in the long run.
Parent: Yeah but I still want to keep in contact. I have a I think the class, our class has a nice, close-knit community now.
Student: We we talk to each other. I never knew these people you know. They also helped me with listening to other people and knowing that if you work as a team, it’s better to work with two heads.
Teacher: I wasn’t going to take this. I told Mr McCauley that we keep having these classes and then what happens after the class? You know it just sits there. Nothing is done. And, even though it was a lot of hours, and we were supposed to get paid, and we didn’t, I went ahead and did it. I’m happy now. They gave us the tools to actually Implement and do it, and examples of role-playing, and it’s it’s so much easier.Testimonial →
