Participants' Experiences
“Change is hard and these Network Team Institutes make the process manageable by giving us the support, resources and materials to do this important work. The Commissioner's mind set of ‘...going as fast as we can, but as slow as we must’ is exactly what is necessary to implement systemic changes that will lead to gains in student achievement.”

“From the Commissioner down, the Department is truly invested in this initiative. As a participant in the institute, I can see that they are not just talking the talk, they are walking the walk. We are all in this together and failure is not an option. Our students are depending on us.”
Bonnie Berry
CVES Network Team Leader
