“I have seen tremendous change in my teachers who worked with BetterLesson. We've experienced student growth in every grade level.”

“I have become so much more confident in taking pedagogical risks. I was intimidated by many strategies when I began and blew them off because I didn't think trying new things would be valuable. By being open-minded, my classroom is a much better learning space and my students seem more confident in themselves.”

“This professional development can set the foundation for improving teacher practice in a focused, positive, and structured way.”
