My partnership with Educational Directions was an extraordinary experience during one of the most challenging opportunities of my professional career ... By partnering with Educational Directions our school experienced a complete turnaround. Our student learning gains, as measured by student test results, were the second highest in our district. Thus, ending our turnaround status with the state. In addition, the school has consistently maintained this improved status.
