"The New Teacher Bootcamp has been one of Sesser-Valier's "go-tos" for several years as we on-board brand-new teachers in the District. Our staff who participate consistently rank it among-the-best as they begin their career journey in public school teaching. Dr. Stewart provides practical, common-sense guidance that serves participants well throughout their career, and I heartily recommend that superintendents consider sending their new teachers to this well-done, local PD opportunity." - Jason Henry, Superintendent
