Exploring Proven Strategies and Peer Learning Opportunities

This summer, we invite you to join our book studies focusing on student success. These books emphasize meeting students where they are and supporting them in achieving their goals in school and in life. We anticipate engaging in relevant discussions on proven strategies and connecting with a network of peers from across central Minnesota who are eager to learn from one another.
