“In you, I’ve found a voice that speaks to both my calling and my professional practice.” — Caleb N., ELA Teacher in Denver

“Students are getting comfortable doing what most of them didn’t want to do – really read, really write, and argue academically. One student went from saying ‘this is going to be bad – I’m terrible at public speaking’ to ‘look at me, all smart.'” — Jeanine F-G., St. John Neumann High School, Naples FL

“It’s rare to have someone who is actually still committed to being in the classroom writing/doing the PD… it’s amazing how just a few years out of the classroom makes folks start thinking that their ideas will work, when in reality they will not fly with real kids.” — Elle D., 25-Year Veteran Teacher
