What are NYC College Access Coordinator, school counselors and health teachers saying about these resources?
Working with Jill and Generation Text has been eye opening! We as educators need to work together with our students in guiding them through the framework which allows us to strengthen the relationship with the 3 pillars of education: the student, the parents, and the staff.
