Teacher Feedback: Nevada 2009-2010 “Change is a process, not an event” Hall & Hord, 2010 • “ Being involved with the IC process has made me more reflective of my instructional practice and how I can change the task or environment to best meet each student’s needs. I have applied many of the strategies I learned with to many different situations.” • “Not surprisingly… time. It definitely takes a significant amount of time to identify and implement intervention strategies, but then once they are working, it is great!” • “The only concern I have is that others may not be open to the process”

I believe it is a vital part of this school to have this program.”
