"We have made drastic changes in the way we are having school. The JBHM process works because it changes behaviors and attitudes. Our principals have become instructional leaders who go into the classrooms, looking for the right things. Our teachers are using more effective methods. There is increased attention to what is going on in the classroom. We needed expert help, and that's what we received from the JBHM specialists. They truly work with the superintendent and educators as a team."
