From the Field: Partnering With Great Minds
"I was really adamant that I had to have Great Minds as my partner, and that has made a world of difference already. They came every single day of the summer conference that I did. They presented to principals, first year teachers, second year teachers, everybody."
Julie Teague | Director of Math, Richardson ISD
