Hear From Our Learners
PLN has helped me to significantly improve three high schools where I have worked over the past 13 years. Using a transformational leadership model that included responsive instructional coaching while simultaneously building a strong, comprehensive literacy background with all teachers, has led to significant achievement growth and long-term opportunities for students at all three schools.
