Comments from Educators who experienced this seminar:

Carolyn Holmes of Tibby Elementary in Compton Unified School District

"I learned how captivating storytelling can be. It was a wonderful and inspirational way of teaching children while certainly keeping their attention. I was especially pleased with the way you presented the concerns of special education teachers. We as teachers so often forget that special Ed students have ways of learning that we can easily address. Thank you so much."

Dawn Lezak of Joaquin Moraga Intermediate

"One of the best seminar sessions. Your note taking style used with story lecture is neat and the presentation captivating. I like the poetic device mnemonic with all the chanting back and forth, demonstrating repetition is the way to learn."
