How?

“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  to  aWend  the  summer  conference  in  addiCon  to  the  trainings  and  webinars  this  

year.”  

“Naviance  is  a  great  product  which  sells  itself  once  staff,  students,  and  

parents  see  it.”
