Training
School employees and leaders are some of the most dedicated people on the planet, but sometimes they don't have enough background and training in areas that will help them be even more successful. In addition to providing trainings at professional association seminars throughout the country, we work directly with districts and county offices to provide specific expertise designed to meet their individual needs. Don't see the training your staff needs on the list below? Email and ask us about developing it for you or referring you to a colleague who is already doing it.

"She provided ideas that were usable immediately, and talked about the need to change and be flexible without hammering us over the head. She was entertaining and funny."
"Our society is changing, the next generation will always be different than what we are use to because of technology, etc. It was a great presentation on keeping our minds and hearts open to new things, changing things to work for our future generations. I loved it!"
"I found her presentation extremely engaging and completely relevant to life in the classroom. Every component of her presentation was an "a-ha" moment! Well done!"
"I really appreciated her visual examples of how we have to adjust we way we think. This is an area I see great need in throughout our district, and am hopeful that her message at least made some people think about how they work, and at most created change in many classrooms."
