Granite School District has been privileged to enjoy a long and rewarding relationship with The School Improvement Network. Our professional development efforts have been enhanced through the collaboration of expertise, materials and resources that Video Journal has provided. The educators in Granite District have benefited by being able to see other educators implementing best practices and having materials available to reproduce these same successes in our schools and classrooms. We value our relationship with The School Improvement Network and look forward to their innovation and support of high quality education for all students.

The School Improvement Network's commitment to presenting
research-based, classroom-proven teaching and leadership best
practices is unparalleled. They show "real-world" application of
instructional strategies that can help almost any teacher or leader.
The resources encourage classroom and school application�the
first step toward school, teacher, and student improvement.

The School Improvement Network's TeachStream products are very effective for our teachers because the content and activities are of the highest quality... We also had a 95% completion ration compared to a 20 � 25% with other online programs.

Many of the initiatives in the Florida Comprehensive Reading Plan are highlighted in The School Improvement Network's Reading in the Content Areas series. The materials have given us powerful tools to continue our follow-up sessions. The principals are delighted to have a leadership and implementation tape to use in supporting their training initiatives at the sites.

Being a TeachStream course facilitator couldn't be easier. The questions at the end of each video segment are well-thought out, and reading the responses gives me a clear understanding of how much our candidates know about the video content. The best bonus for using the TeachStream online courses is the ease of use for all levels of technology users, making our support of their technology minimal.

Your professionalism, commitment to detail, and willingness to do whatever it takes to get our contracted projects completed has been noticed by many and greatly appreciated by all those involved. Our administrators have requested that the training be extended to all administrators, teachers, and campuses with the assistance of your highly qualified consultants and staff, our principals have been guided through the process of becoming a highly competent instructional leader.

The School Improvement Network has been a great resource and very responsive to help our district customize a professional development model, which is unique to the needs of an urban district.

The integration of these resources has helped teachers accomplish their goals of Professional Development by learning through different venues that relate to each other and incorporate standards that can be used in the classroom. Teachers can complete their requirement by learning at their own pace with the flexibility to incorporate learning into busy work and family schedules; another advantage is the limitless possibilities to use the integrated resources as a reference throughout the year. The feedback from the teachers who have taken advantage of this opportunity has been extremely positive. The process of completing the course has been well received and is easily understood regardless of the level of computer experience the teacher may possess. The Saratoga Springs City School District would not hesitate to recommend The School Improvement Network to other educational institutions that are incorporating Professional Development into their staff training opportunities.
Stephanie Lang

We are in the process of finalizing our partnership for the future that will target continued projects and student success.

" This is the way professional
development should happen. The real

materials, give teachers [and
