“The sessions with Solution Tree for the PLC evaluation of each school, the debriefs, and the written reports were by far the most productive and meaningful evaluations we have experienced as a team. We are really hoping to work with Mark and Tony moving forward. The 45 minutes I spent with them not only solidified my own thoughts moving forward, it was an opportunity to meet two meaningful partners. I really want to continue this work with them in the next steps of building our PLCs within YUHSD 70. Thank you to Solution Tree for this professional opportunity.”
