"What a wonderful and informative workshop! I have to admit, though, that I was very resistant in coming. I've gone to so many workshops and in-services...but none have been as interactive and inclusive as this one. As an English teacher, I am always looking for effective strategies to help my students become better readers. This workshop was the complete package. Thank you! I am excited about teaching Reading/English again!!" - Richmond Public Schools |

"It was an incredible presentation! Everyone that attended seemed to learn so much. The teachers keep talking about what they learned. We have weekly grade level meetings and the topics you presented were placed on the agenda for this week for many of our teams because the teachers that attended wanted to share with those that were not able to go! That is great news! Even our office staff asked me what was presented because there was such a buzz in the building about it. Isn't that exciting?" -Assistant Principal, Fairfax County |

"Thank you so much for your work with our staff. The workshop was wonderful! I have had so many teachers tell me that your presentation was worthwhile and could be used the very next day. I think what impressed them the most was when you shared your actual classroom experiences with children just like ours. You definitely have credibility. For me, besides learning a terrific strategy, I loved watching our teachers get excited about something they know will make a difference for our students." - Principal, Norfolk Public Schools |

"I wanted to let you know that it truly was one of the MOST beneficial workshops I’ve ever attended! As a reading specialist, your strategy embodies all of the principles I have researched with regards to reading and writing in the content areas! I am certain that this strategy will not only improve understanding of content material but will simultaneously produce more competent readers/writers." - Wise County Schools |

"I wanted to thank you for coming to visit us at our school. I am so thankful for the information you provided. I knew a little about Interactive Notebooks before your visit but your help filled in all the blanks and gave me what I needed to implement this in my first grade classroom. I am excited and ready to go and my kids will be so excited about the 'new way' we are going to attack our learning. They love it when I tell them we are doing things that the big kids are doing and this will be the icing on the cake." - First Grade Teacher NBCT, MEd. |

"I just wanted to let you know that I have been using interactive notetaking in my 6th grade US History class this semester and I can tell a huge difference in what the students understand and retain. We are reviewing for the History SOL test and the students have even commented on how much better they understand the content that we have learned using interactive notetaking versus the material we covered in traditional ways (worksheets, read & answer questions independently, etc.)" - Virginia Educator |

"My colleague and I attended one of your training sessions and we are enthusiastically implementing the program in two of our LD classrooms and one inclusion class. Aside from seeing, in the short time since we've begun, our students actually request to work on the note-taking and be more involved in their learning, we think the process can help with our push for more inclusion in our school." - Virginia Beach, VA |

"Your Interactive Notetaking training was so empowering, engaging, and exciting. I can walk back into my classroom and begin the strategies immediately... Empowering me as a teacher. I am engaged, my students are engaged and most importantly our brains are engaged. Thank you for a wonderful day of learning and treating us so professionally. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! I can't wait until you present to our staff." - Isle of Wight County Schools |
