Tour Program Successes!

Hi everyone,

During the first week of October we had about 80 visitors come for the League of Innovative Schools, 11 people come for a recruitment tour, 35 Norwegians, 8 people from Canada for a study tour, and 20 people from Educational Insights for an executive tour. Every group was impressed with out program and many people were interested in our Center for Excellence training program! We even had to print more copies of our marketing materials!

We try to make things as least disruptive as possible, but I know that's not always possible. I wanted to thank everyone for their participation and support of our tour program. It really does benefit us and helps contribute to our school's sustainability.

  • We've earned $2000 in credits from New Tech Network that we can redeem towards continuation fees, NTAC participation, or additional coaching/support.
  • We've earned $1760 for our FONT account.
  • Over 200 visitors so far this year!
Also, here are some quotes from our visitors from Educational Insights praising our work! You all and the students do such an inspiring job!


“What was impressive was that not only did we see students learning, but the teachers have indicated they are also continually learning.”

“Seeing this school has given me hope for the future of education in the US”

“In all of the years I have been in education I’ve never seen such student engagement in every classroom we were in.”

Also, here's a link to a blog that one of our study tour participants from Canada wrote reflecting on their visit.

Thanks, again!
-Peter
