"Institute is by far the greatest professional development I’ve ever had. Working in an incredibly fast paced environment where you see the benefits of your decisions and actions daily pushed me to do everything I could for my school, colleagues, corps members, their students, and their families. I learned so much in such a short period of time I now feel any job that requires critical thinking, leadership and strong relationship building has become second nature."
