With our help, at risk students will achieve at the same rate as non-at risk students. Staff members must have a commitment to children and a commitment to the pursuit of excellence.

Norms Listen fully. Be an active participant. Be open to colleagues contributions. Start on time and end on time. Review norms and ask everyone to be full present.
