Acknowledgments Acknowledgements These materials are the result of many years of providing professional development workshops. Most of the slides presented are adaptations of training materials developed for FOL or PQR by either WASC or CDE or both organizations at some time in the history of the processes. Where credit can be established, reference is made on the last slide of any series. To all of the colleagues who have contributed to my own ability to conduct workshops, to my understanding of school improvement and change, and to my knowledge of these two important processes for California schools, I am grateful.
Friendships cross many boundaries of assignment, geography, and time.
With very special thanks to Marilyn, Judi, Sue, Bob, and Nan. Each has contributed to an important portion of my personal and professional life reflected in this web site. They encourage me to never lose sight of the important things in life. . Louise's Stuff Louise Wright Robertson, Ed.
