Student-powered improvement requires an ongoing collection of actions.

The journey must include opportunities to see your system, identify your why, explore the possibilities, take action, reflect and adjust, and expand and grow. These stages may overlap and move both forward and backward. Whatever your starting point, the possibilities are endless.
