Thank you again for a wonderful event. This conference is so deeply meaningful and it furthers our work in highly measurable ways.
As someone who is involved in community strategic planning, coaching outcomes, continuous improvement and impact, I am better equipped to champion the use of CLASS to increase early learning to a wider range of audiences and uses.
