“If we want to advance the teaching profession, we must acknowledge how hard teachers work behind the scenes and debunk narratives that discount their contributions.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This note from one of our campus leaders is a reminder of why we do this work. We are grateful to be of service to these amazing educators. ❤️ — Holdsworth Group! Thank you so much for rescuing me from burnout. So many times we are tasked with the seemingly impossible, with little to no guidance. You have rekindled my fire and gave me a much needed boost to continue this great work. Thank you for leading and teaching us this process. This has truly been a renewal and blessing. I am grateful for leaning this process and everyone who has dedicated their time to develop the process that helps so many schools! Y’all are amazing! - Nicole Jeffery
