Testimonials

We’re finally doing the right thing for kids.

We had very few tools—suspension, code of conduct, send them out. We felt we were not meeting their needs and there was danger inside the school… [We’re] now sitting here with the highest test scores since the MSTEP started, and the highest enrollment in 13 years.

Terry Dangerfield

Superintendent, Lincoln Park Public Schools

Helped me more than I realized.

I gained from 10 Steps was priceless, because it gave me the knowledge and the “words” needed to give a family hope!

Elementary School Counselor

Canton City Schools

This course gave me the confidence…

I will look through a trauma informed lens in my classroom and build relationships in order to dive deep with my students. I want them to feel comfortable talking to me and to know they can trust me. This course gave me the confidence in doing that.
