Testimonial

Now that I have had some time to digest the experience; I really wanted to send a note of thanks. The structure and pacing of the 3 day [IB Biology workshop] really helped me ease my head around the differences from MYP to DP; and to really begin thinking about how MYP can be effectively tweaked to specifically support critical DP components (i.e. - the IA). Your candor, wit, and overall positivity were extremely refreshing for a three day training. Just a fabulous training in a great environment.

Thank you and I hope you have a great rest of the school year!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of “Changes in Genetic Composition of Populations” and your wiliness to share your expertise on how to instruct this unit in order to increase understanding of the content and limit controversy. Your workshop was well received and I was very grateful to the both of you for all of the time and thoughtfulness you placed in the planning and preparation of such a high caliber professional development. Your content, timing, pacing, checks for understanding, interaction with each other and engagement of your participants were spot on. From the moment you opened with, “You know what is better than being a science student until 2:30? Being a teacher who gets to learn science until 5:30!” I and the other participants were hooked with your enthusiasm for what you do.

Every time I attend one of your professional developments I not only learn science but I also learn something about instruction and facilitating professional development. Thank you for inspiring me when I observe you in the classroom, work with you on district projects or just listen to each of you talk about how wonderful your students are. I feel very grateful to work with each of you and look forward to doing so for many years to come. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
