In today's turbulent world, the only constant is CHANGE. The challenges facing educators, health professionals and others require thinking "outside the box" and expanding our notions of what is possible. The NETWORK Inc. has been helping adults change how they work, play and live healthfully for more than thirty years.
Long recognized as one of the nation's preeminent research and training organizations, we are currently focusing our energies on bringing educators a growing series of leading edge professional development tools and techniques. And our decade-long commitment to enlightening public radio programs heard throughout the United States continues in our collaboration with Human Media:
We seek others commited to helping children and adults learn and flourish
in their chosen pursuits. Take a look at our current offerings and then

We have helped tens of thousands of educators get a deeper understanding
of the processes, personalities and pitfalls that underlie significant
improvement efforts. When educators are bombarded with demands for rapid
change but not given the resources needed to do so, the most likely
result will be disillusion.
In our work all across the country, we rarely find teachers reluctant
to consider proven alternatives that will help kids. But school leaders,
caught between central office priorities and teachers' concerns, struggle
to find tools and techniques that can help them gain traction on the
slippery slopes of reform. And, while the increasing use of high stakes
tests forces radical changes in curriculum and instruction, there has
been precious little attention given to the support necessary for significant
and sustained improvement in student achievement.
Since 1969, The NETWORK has been helping educators commited
to improved performance establish a common vocabulary about change within
their schools, offer opportunities to try out possible strategies before
commiting scarce resources, challenge their own and others assumptions
about what can be done, and energized school staffs to reach higher
and risk more. I invite you to call me at 1-800-877-5400 to explore
how we might help you make a difference.
