Testimonials

  • "Why didn't We Meet You Sooner?"

  • "I love the open conversations, all the game ideas, personable, & willing to be flexible."

  • "I loved the manipulatives, the demonstrations, and the interactive tasks."

  • "I loved all the strategies explaining it all levels K-5."

  • "By far one of the most beneficial things we have done this year."

  • "Your "easy, conversational tone" is perfect! You demonstrate your knowledge and expertise,

    but you also remain very collegial…which is very appealing to those with whom you are working. It makes learning from you feel natural, rather than authoritative or judgmental”.

    -R.M., Instructional Coach

  • "This is by far the best professional development.

    Teachers want to see it and they need to be a part of it. The feedback I hear is they can take what they learn and implement immediately. The mixture of PD and lesson study is perfect.”

    -K.G., Assistant Principal
