The Mind Trust team started off our week with a visit to Indiana Math and Science Academy (IMSA) West for our all-staff meeting. We learned about the school’s impactful approach to academics that achieves impressive results (“acceleration is better than remediation”), and took a tour of the school that included the new gym and a very warm welcome from the Kindergarten classes. Thank you, IMSA West, for hosting us!

Congratulations to The Mind Trust's Emerging Leader Fellow, JaCinda DeVance, Director of Exceptional Learners at The PATH School! JaCinda is part of the Fellowship's second cohort; learn more about her here: https://lnkd.in/gQuuBMph
