From Administrators:

Karen Furman, Associate Superintendent
Elementary Education, Kennedale Independent School District, Kennedale, Texas.

"We loved the presentations you provided a couple of weeks ago! As you know, our district is experiencing a paradigm shift and many of our educators have been apprehensive - change is hard. However, the district's faculty/staff participants in your presentations were inspired by your enthusiasm and empowered by the ideas you shared with them. The vision of meaningful learning for all now seems "do-able" where before it may not have. We, as a district, will continue to work toward that vision and hope to continue our affiliation with you in
support of that. Thank you so much."

Additional Comments:"Thank you for such wonderful insight, information and resources. You have saved my teacher many hours of work with all the pre-made forms and resources you provided. You also made us feel comfortable with how you presented the training. Helping with the scheduling and planning was also a great help."July 2009


From Tammy Brown, Hunt School Principal:"Lisa presented a potpourri of instructional strategies that require little preparation on the part of the teacher. She was able to engage all Kinder-8th grade teachers in one fun-filled, packed day. Our teachers are excited about trying these new ideas in their classrooms. We will definitely be having Lisa come train again." August 2021
