“The Christopher and Virginia Sower Center for Successful Schools helped our district produce significant gains in reading for our low performing students. They also gave us powerful and easily-learned methods for reducing suspensions, increasing student accountability, involving families in problem solving, and improving the learning climate in our schools.”
Scott Menzel,
District Superintendent
