Team Leader Geralyn Wilson: "We had never done this before. It was our normal practice for me to have outsiders come in and inservice the teachers on whatever the topic was. This is working much better. Now the teachers feel ownership in their own learning."
University Partner Toni Potenza: "We're never 100% experts. We're always learning. It's a continual process. . . And you're doing this in a community of people you feel comfortable with so if you screw up it's not the end of the world. . . I can't think of a nicer working arrangement than to have that kind of support system in place where you don't have to feel afraid all the time that you don't know every single thing about every single kind of practice. But that you have others that you can learn from. . .You have created this community of learners."
