Testimonials
Quotes shared by prior Principals’ PLG members
“Through this process, I have gained resources, a new network, and clarity in how to navigate the challenges of changes as well as how to celebrate the work.”
“There are a thousand questions around how to implement proficiency-based models in schools, and I can’t say enough about the PLG’s resources and thoughtfulness. You learn as much by listening as you do by presenting.”
“As a leader, our work often isolates us, and it is quite beneficial to join with our colleagues for support. I learn from their experience and gain insight about working with my own school community.”
“I ALWAYS leave a PLG thinking differently about some aspect of my work, and the reverberations of the PLG echo throughout my reflections for many weeks and months after the meeting. I am able to engage in a level of discourse about leadership which occurs nowhere else in my professional life, but which I deeply value.”
