“Thank you so much for the time and attention you dedicated to provide sessions specifically tailored to build on our professional learning plan and for including every detail we discussed. Your attention to our district needs went above and beyond expectations. I’m very grateful for the feedback you were able to provide based on session discussions. It will serve to guide our next steps and follow up with administration.”
