Taking Care of Yourself, So You Can Take Care of Your Students
As a veteran teacher with 20 years in the DOE, I look back and am so grateful for the opportunities that Joe and Dave have provided. I can honestly say that their classes are the reason I was able to earn the credits needed to move up the pay scale so quickly. Their simple, yet practical approach made it easy for me to complete the assignments. What made the classes even more enjoyable was having friends and colleagues who also took the classes with me. It was an opportunity for us to learn together, while also enjoying each others' company. I would highly recommend their classes!

Joe's experience and knowledge of education uplifts teacher to make real changes in their classrooms. His positive vibe and enthusiasm during his PD courses keeps everyone motivated and wantingto learn more to support themselves as well as their students. He inspires teachers to be reflective on their teaching practices and provides strategies that will make a positive change for the teacher to support learning and student success."
