Read what attendees said about the 2012 Institute:

"This was an outstanding institute! I love coming each year, because the workshops and presenters are always terrific and so helpful and practical!"

"Meeting and sharing with colleagues is of vital importance to all educators to get us away from the isolationist model. This Institute is re-invigorating. Thank you"

"Substantive and informative information regarding a difficult subject in terms of staffing and financial implications. They've clearly done a great job with RTI in their own district and are an excellent resource for others not as far along!"

"Very knowledgeable-directly connected to the core. She (Elissa Arndt) gave us an outline to create a personalized plan (with specific suggestions) for integrating literacy. Top notch workshop!"

"The literacy planning session was excellent-full and packed with information. I will spend months unpacking it. I loved the strategy based learning."
