Testimony
Through the Vision-to-Action process, we have improved our ISTEP test scores. We now work collaboratively with parents and the community in discovering solutions for raising student achievement.Victoria Rogers, Principal, Clear Creek Elementary School
InSAI was the tool that gave me peace of mind because from the very first meeting, it was evident that this is a working model and not a procedure that is shelved.Mike Manning, Principal, Randolph Southern High School
InSAI . . . provides plenty of support – both technical and moral – and the tools which empower schools to change the course of “the institution” which so often defies change.Marty Brewer, Teacher, Tell City Junior High School
