From Book Study Participants:
“As the principal to an established building of middle level learners, I was at a loss as to how to reinvent the identity of our building and to develop a cohesive mission and vision...The book study helped us to identify our ‘big rocks', develop an action plan, and initiate the work that would frame our building’s future. With the help of our book study leader, we were able to base our decisions on best practices for the middle level learner and create a cohesive plan for our staff and our students. The support from our leader and AMLE was amazing and continues to be a resource as we move forward. I highly recommend the book study to move your building to the next level.”
"Having the entire staff in the same spot having the same conversation. It allows everyone to hear the thoughts of people with whom they may not regularly meet."
