Good News from the Front Lines of Education

We're proud of the work we do, but we're most proud when we receive letters from our clients like the following one:

"Thank you again for all the time you’ve spent with the Eagles of Federal Way High School. This was my second year of training. Thank you also for reminding me that even a little time spent covering this method can dramatically improve students’ scores. 

Last week I gave an assessment about the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The students were to write responses for each topic’s prompt, using the Jane Schaffer? model.  

I have found that my low-performing students were dramatically helped by this method. One young woman, a refugee from Somalia, received a “3” on a 1-4 scale. This was the highest she had ever scored on an assessment, and she did it by following all of the Jane Schaffer steps. Her pride was inspiring. Another young lady, who has never received a score higher than a “1” on an assessment scored a “4.” And when I told her in the hallway, she ran to tell two of her friends. So thank you for inspiring this older teacher and his students to achieve success."
