Editor's Notes

  • #5 Done this five times… what else could I share with you?... I realized it’s the same information – we have made great strides but the same challenges persist… so let’s look at things differently… crystallize our thoughts… so let’s do it together… and be clear… be blunt let’s come up with a clear list of what in fact in an HQ and what is not… because the opposite is just as important… so – half of eac table…
  • #8 Address or age will not determine access for advanced opportunities. Schools will intentionally cultivate outstanding potential, K-12. Assessments address the academic and cognitive needs of AIG learners. All AIG learners will graduate; no AIG drop-outs.
