Words From Happy Readers
“Gansevoort was one of the first schools in our district to get off the focus list. I attribute a lot of that to the EDI strategies.”
“Once teachers experienced EDI, they saw the value. Many teachers have told me they can’t remember how they taught before.”
“EDI makes students accountable. They see now that school is a place to work and learn and play, and they love it. Because even though it is hard, they are doing well.”
