"Amber and Teresa did a fantastic job of meeting the needs of novice and experienced teachers in regards to balanced literacy. I have new strategies and materials I can use in my classroom to push my students to the next level in structured literacy. It would be fantastic to have these ladies do a refresher training for those who have been doing their outing for several years."
"None"
"This was the third time I received the same training. I have been implementing the same exact strategies for the last three years. Each time I am told to go to a training like this I am told it will cover new content for me, that has yet to happen. It is getting to the point that I will not be attending these trainings anymore. "
