“The MASFPS Title I Principals' Series was a absolute game-changer! I wholeheartedly recommend it to any Title I leader seeking a clear, comprehensive understanding of program requirements. This series not only breaks down each component into an easy-to-follow format—no matter your experience level—but also fosters a truly collaborative and engaging learning environment. The dedication to two-way communication, structured work time, and the opportunity to seek clarification ensures that every participant leaves feeling a little more confident than when they started. Best of all, it transforms what can feel like an overwhelming process into a manageable and even inspiring journey, especially when preparing for a site visit”.

“Key takeaway from the Section 31a Workshop Series: “I appreciate the gentle reminders of written processes, caseload reporting, and how to do a number of tasks. I also appreciate the description of program evaluations. Thank you!””
““One of my key takeaways in the Section 31a Workshop Series was understanding the significance of our written processes and how to develop and share them in a meaningful way with other key stakeholders”.”
