“There were several ideas that were shared by trainers and others who were new to the district.  Allowing people to share teaching and classroom ideas is fabulous.  Some things you just don’t learn from a book, and having heard it from someone that made it work is so helpful...This was a great program.  What a fabulous way to help new teachers.”
