From Principals:
Thank you for the professional development you provided the teachers over the past two days.
The approach you have with the teachers is such that they can walk away from the PD with immediate ways to incorporate worthwhile activities into their daily curriculum. The practical examples and hands-on exercises you provided have sparked some ideas for future ways of enhancing the math instruction in our classrooms.
Additionally, your insights into effective assessments methods as well as grading were eye-opening for us. Assessing the thought processes of our students will help us better gauge our students' understanding and help us to provide targeted support where needed.
Good Morning Susan!
I asked my staff to send me feedback from the training last week. They sang your praises and have already felt so much more confident in the classroom. I just wanted to send the feedback to you. I hope to be reaching out again for more training!
From Teachers
I just wanted to thank you for everything you shared at the training yesterday. I was lucky enough to listen to a training of yours in January and I have to say you are one of my all time favorite presenters. I can't thank you enough for the information that you give, the resources that you share, and talking about math in such a down to earth way. Thank you again!!!
Thank you so much for visiting my classroom and for today's PD session! As a new teacher of Math, on my end, it was so exciting to notice that my teaching and student approach is directed in the right direction. I am very enthusiastic about learning and teaching MIF!
