    HEAR WHAT YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE SAYING ABOUT THE FUTURES VIDEO AND TRAINING

    "This class and the supporting materials really brought home for me the
    importance of this issue and gave very real, practical, easy-to-use options

    and solutions to the hurdles one encounters in educating and inspiring
    young
    women to pursue meaningful careers. We've incorporated the training in our

    School-to-Career staff development classes and feel it is an essential
    piece
    of the entire effort."
    -Debra Schluter, School-to-Career Coordinator
    Aurora Public Schools, Aurora, Colorado

    "The Futures video should be seen by ALL high school teachers."
    -Don Viles, Auto Technology Teacher
    Osborn High School, Manassas, Virginia

    "The IWITTS materials are powerful tools for teachers and counselors
    working
    to attract girls to technology and science careers."
