"(QTL™) was the best jump start, the best thing we did, no doubt about it. (Teachers) were so pumped up after they finished their cycles, they couldn't wait to get back to school. Everybody feels really good about it."

"(QTL™) focused on curriculum. It provided classroom strategies for the teachers. It incorporated new designs for learning and it incorporated a lot of components of No Child Left Behind legislation. I really wanted to have this for our teachers to learn here in Guilford County, and it's been a great program for them. It's working really, really well... every school that we train, when we train one teacher we're finding they wanta to send a second and third and fourth team."
Zelia Frick, instructional technology supervisor
Guilford County, NC

Linda Lloyd, elementary teacher

"This training component is worth underscoring. We can't just be bringing in fancy equipment and imagine that it's just a matter of equipping a school. We need to increases the confidence level of our teaching force. It's a matter of teachers having the initiative and the get up and go to get training. And that's what has happened here."
