Voices from the Field

We've been working this fall to gather "voices from the field" and talk to educators across the state who are using OLAC tools in innovative ways to achieve real results.

We are excited to begin sharing these stories. We recently launched a new "OLAC Success Stories" page on our website highlighting the first stories of the series:

• Connecting Principles (and Principals) to Practice: Dr. Julie Davis, Executive Director, and Dr. Rebecca Hornberger, Department Chair, SAIL/CUC Partnerships, Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators
• A New Principal Finds the Right Support: Danielle Wallace Principal, Winton Woods Primary South School, Winton Woods City School District

As our library of success stories continues to grow, we'll be sharing these out on our website and on Twitter. We're also looking forward to hearing many innovative success stories at the upcoming OLAC Action Forum on Dec. 13.

In the meantime, if you have experienced results using OLAC tools and would like to be featured, please contact OLAC co-directors Jim Gay and Don Washburn.
