Welcome to the Inaugural Issue

Welcome to the premier issue of the GATEWAY TO MASTERY™, newsletter! Its intent is to keep you updated on what is currently happening in schools where GATEWAY TO MASTERY™ is being applied, the latest workshop opportunities, and improvements of interest to you, and news about upcoming workshops/conferences.

Units Available

After hearing this suggested repeatedly at our workshops, we have now arranged for university, or continuing education, units for those attending our workshops and seminars. Unit price is dependent upon the type of unit participant’s desire, and the university granting them, but both are available for any of our workshops. Units will be offered through either California State University Sacramento, or California State University Chico and we are working with other universities who will follow suit soon. If you already have a workshop scheduled, contact us to arrange for units as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot give units for workshops already attended.

Baldrige Award Winners

In case you haven't heard, two schools using the GATEWAY TO MASTERY™ philosophy have won Baldrige awards. Congratulations go to CCSD 15 in Palatine, IL for winning the national award and Pekin Public Schools District 108 in Pekin, IL for winning the Illinois State award.
