New Insights from the Study Visit

 

"I saw that once administration sees itself as a partner (and not top-down administrators) an SLC can truly become effective. When the administration sincerely shares decisionmaking, then an SLC can truly emerge."

 

"[Hillsdale staff] are truly awesome! I am highly impressed by their willingness to try and their openness and flexibility regarding what's possible. They have given me great hope about what's possible and our collective future as a society."
