We are happy to announce a complete success for this summer’s Teacher Training Institute. We want to again thank our presenters; Marcia Fries, Gina Lems-Tardif, Dan Gurney, Glenda McHale, Diana Jones, Jeanne Ruiz, and Katie Kent. They all provided us with a wealth of information and our “schema” will never be the same! (inside joke for those of you who weren’t there)
Please take a moment to enjoy photos from the training on our TTI-2009 page… though pictures fail to capture the energy of the presenters and the great discussion that was had in each session.
We’d like to leave you with just a handful of the many comments from the teachers that attended. Hope to see you next year!
- Their excitement was contagious!
- …very applicable…
- I loved this seminar. The Daily 5, yea!!!
- The training really was so very relevant and important for each and every teacher.
- Wonderful information… great ideas.
- The presenters were awesome!
- Usually I dread conferences or trainings because they are boring, but this one was so great because it was so interactive and very hands on!
- I appreciate making the visual materials during the workshop. They will be put to good use right away!
