"As a first-year principal, I started with an engrained culture that needed to be changed. I found InspireYourPeople.com and knew the tools could support a unifying message to drive the change I wanted for my school. After using 212° the extra degree for three years and with less money than ever, we had the highest reading results in the area, highest math gains overall over 3 years, and this past year, showed the most significant SOL score improvements."

Cross The Line
