The leadership and training provided through the National Center on Time & Learning have been transformational. It can be said with 100% confidence, that the Guilmette Elementary School’s recent successes have everything to do with our partnership with the National Center on Time & Learning.
The year-long planning process that our school engaged in two years ago was the catalyst for real school change. What resulted from this year of planning was a school redesign inclusive of expanded time, high-quality instruction, targeted supports, highly engaging enrichment for students, and added time for teacher collaboration and professional development. The result from year 1 of implementation was a level of student achievement never attained before in this school.
The leadership, trainings, coaching, and support structures provided through NCTL are the real deal. NCTL doesn’t just talk about improving schools – what sets them apart is their knowledge of how to do it and their ability to teach others how to do it.
