“[I love] the openness and feeling that it was a safe environment to share struggles and concerns.”
“[I learned that establishing a] school culture of respect and collaboration is the essential beginning for establishing deeper learning practices. Commitment to whole child learning is primary. There are a variety of educational pathways we must prepare students to be equipped to choose.“
