Most of you know that when the National Staff Development Council created the network we call 12 Under 12, we were hoping a select group of schools would choose to participate. You represent these schools. With each passing year, your schools become more and more unique for three reasons. First, your schools have chosen to remain in 12 Under 12 in spite of the significant financial investment required to do so. Second, with each passing year, your schools have voluntarily taken on new collaborative responsibilities to make 12 Under 12 more useful to you and to other schools in the network.
