“I
asked
the
principal
if
I
could
start
with
AVID
and
she
observed
the
presentaCon.
(She
even
tweeted
it
on
our
website).
Then
I
scheduled
the
remaining
presentaCons
for
the
rest
of
the
eighth
graders.”
“We
have
the
most
amazing
and
accommodaCng
staff
who
are
open
to
trying
anything.”
“My
principal
is
very
supporCve
of
me
going
into
classrooms
and
she
sees
the
value
in
Naviance
because
of
the
college
and
career-­‐readiness
components.”
“I
was
fortunate

aWend

“Naviance
is
