Sadie's Story

Testimonials

"It clarified the MTSS process to me and it gave my team an action plan with which to start the process at our school." [Building Your Systems]

Superintendent, Roosevelt Elementary (Carson)  

   [September 2018]

"Wayne helped us deliver the "message" of MTSS to our HS staff, refined our plans for the upcoming school year and assess the strategies at the elementary school."

Administrator - Carrington HS  

   (Year 1 Cohort participant)

"Wayne is UNBELIEVABLE! He remembers grade levels and information about everything we have asked of him! I am amazed." [Evaluating Your System]

- Special Education / Title I Teacher  

   [December 2018]

"We know that our support system has weaknesses. But this training gave us a way to systematically approach the task of assessing where those weakness are exactly." [Building Your Systems]

Counselor, Parshall High School  

   [September 2018]

"This training transformed my job description... and I'm SO THANKFUL for that!"

- Special Ed./Title I Teacher - Northern Cass  

   (Year 2 Cohort participant)

"Because of this training we have implemented uniform pathways in math and reading for all students in grades 1-10 in ALL of our buildings!"

Jamestown  

   (Year 2 Cohort participant)

"We've made lots of positive changes in our middle school. Now, we can focus on beefing up our core instead of always trying to catch those intensive kids, because we know their needs are already being met. Yay!"

Teacher - Wahpeton  

   (Year 2 Cohort participant)

"We are a better school for having gone through this training. It has gone from "my kids" to "our kids" approach."

Administrator - Ellendale  

   (Year 1 Cohort Participant)

"The beauty of a training session such as this is the opportunity to plan with our team, uninterrupted. That's hard to do in the school building. I also like how Wayne has it set up - so we can actually accomplish something while here. This is SO good for us!" [Evaluating Your System]

Elementary Counselor, Central Cass  

   [December 2018]
