A midwestern high school teacher:
MSSP made a substantial difference in our school. The embedded PD and mentoring allowed us to develop the team skills and instructional strategies to become and remain a cohesive team that has raised the academic and social/emotional standing of our students.
A principal from a Southwestern high school:
"The redesign process that Ron and Linda led my teachers through caused us to evaluate our core beliefs, our instructional programs, and our daily routines. They worked to build relationships with the staff members on the Design Team in order to facilitate effective communication throughout the difficult conversations that occurred during each meeting.
Ron and Linda were our guides, but they were careful to not override the process and simply provide answers to my staff. They caused us to reflect on OUR students, OUR classrooms, and OUR results to create a new environment for OUR school, not a predesigned program that was developed for a “similar” school. "

A principal from an east coast high school:
MSSP models for staff and students the 21st Century skills our students need to become competitive in a global society. MSSP models a high level of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. Their respect and encouragement for everyone they work with makes them a critical partner of staff and administration.
