Pilot ResultsThe impact on our students is profound.

They really feel completely prepared to go in as first year teachers and to be able to say,

“I know exactly what I want to accomplish with the kids.”

They feel much clearer about what they can do and need to do when they get their own

classrooms. What I’m seeing is a broader, deeper

understanding of these practices and a confidence. - NLU Professor
