About Our Institutes
At the No Excuses University Institutes, we demonstrate our Six Exceptional Systems to hard-working educators and provide practical strategies to assist them in coaxing academic success from all students – especially those who historically struggle to achieve academic proficiency. As a result, these children begin to work hard, achieve academic proficiency, and strive to attend college.
These Six Exceptional Systems account for the success of high-achieving schools, including those with high-poverty and highly diverse populations. When implemented, student learning increases for all children, and teacher, school and community morale skyrockets.
At NEU Institutes, successful and current practitioners explain and demonstrate these common-sense strategies in down-to-earth ways that relate directly to working educators. Register your team for an upcoming Institute today.
