“The entire meeting really was beneficial…It was especially helpful talking about data in relation to setting realistic goals, reviewing the continuous quality improvement cycle, and review of the logic model for program support as well as internal use for our organization. I loved the slide "Planning Time with Program Teams" for questions that can be asked to programs. Again this was an awesome presentation!”

“I have gone to a lot of wonderful conferences, but this was by far my favorite sessions attended so far! I really liked the breakdown and that y’all [presenters] made yourself available for follow up.”

“Through LIFT’s intentional design our school team has increased our instructional leadership capacity and enhanced our best practices by providing a space for collaboration with other schools. Every time I attend a LIFT session, I leave with action steps ready to be implemented the next day as well as learned lifelong practices. Guided by evidenced based research, the UEPC team provides the best professional learning I’ve ever attended. I always leave wanting more!”

 ~ Meghan Merideth, M.Ed., Head of School, Utah Virtual Academy

“[...] We are so happy that we chose to work with UEPC. They worked with us to truly understand what was important to Greenwood and then helped us build a plan that made sense for us.  They have been so supportive of our vision, mission and goals as a school.  They are always willing to offer support any time we need it whether it be a phone call, an in person visit, a professional learning class for teachers, or tools that will help us with what we are grappling with.  We have loved working with UEPC and highly recommend them!”

~ Tracey Nelson, School Director, GreenWood Charter School

“Thank you for trusting us to come and learn and implement--The jobs we do are intense, and busy, and critical.  Knowing that this academy was not ‘just one more thing,’ but a valuable piece of moving the work forward.”

~ Participant, Salt Lake City School District Leadership Academy

“Thank you for making LIFT a positive experience. I leave feeling rejuvenated instead of defeated! The time for action planning is crucial to complete prior to returning to the whirlwind of the school, so please keep that as part of the experience.”
