Close The Achievement Gap

We have researched the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in depth and are here to help your school or district understand the act, its opportunities, and its requirements.

For years, aha! Process has been providing schools with professional development and products that are
  • high-impact
  • user-friendly
  • and cost-effective
We have a wide range of workshops available and can work with you to ensure your school or district receives sustainable benefits from these strategies.
"We have chosen to adopt … many of Dr. Payne’s suggested strategies into our instructional program. The results from the use of these strategies … have been favorable in an improved climate and lower discipline referral rate. Most importantly, in this day and age of accountability, test scores have improved significantly in three years. We have moved from the status of ‘Needs Improvement’ to the status of ‘Distinguished’ in Title I."
–Lura Reed, Principal, Dimon Elementary, Columbus, Georgia
