Missouri Afterschool Network (MASN) Conference Participant
A note of gratitude for working with our team. You have, in a good way, helped us to better understand the PEAR Survey and how we can use the data to guide our RTI action plans. The data has already begun to drive deeper thinking with regard to how we can better support all of our students. You have a beautiful way about you that I can clearly see is bring “on” and “bring out” thoughts and ideas from all team members that will drive our action plans. I, personally, really appreciate this about you.
