“This model allows teachers to spend more time building relationships with students and guide them toward real mastery. As a mentor, I love working with teachers as they discover how the model will best serve their classroom and students. Watching a teacher unlock their classroom’s full potential is an amazing experience.”
-Lee James, Social Studies Teacher, and Expert Mentor Since 2020
