noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 01:41:00 +0000

For Immediate Release - July 11, 2010.

Irvine, California, USA. Today I completed my first KTDP, (Kaplan Teacher Development Program), training session. Over 100,000 students per year apply to law schools across the land and each one of them must take the LSAT. By partnering with the nation's premiere test prep brand, I look forward to making a positive impact on scores of individuals who are beginning their quests into the legal profession.

Kaplan's teacher training commences with an "ACE" Discussion. What is ACE?, you ask.

ACE = Absolute Commitment to Excellence

It was quite energizing to begin a training program where everyone discussed and affirmed and mutual commitement to excellence. I am really excited and looking forward to this new dynamic partnership and the opportunity to have hands on involvement with the lives of future law students. As with so many moments to date, I feel the influence of my friend Ann Levine mixed into this new endeavor and always welcome an opportunity to seek to emmulate her excellent example.
