Testimonials

"I appreciate the built-in work and collaboration time. Many meetings just discuss work, but here, we actually make progress. The ongoing support from Maeci and the cohort keeps us accountable, creating a loop of feedback and action that's often missing in similar groups."- New Orleans School Leader

"The session helped me focus on what truly matters. It's hard work, but we often overcomplicate it. Writing my own norms was valuable rather than relying on school-established ones. Norms for data work differ by context. Hearing insights from my colleagues at other schools was especially helpful-I rarely have a partner in this work, and our schools share similarities." -New Orleans School Leader
