Cathy presented a SMART Board Level 1 training to my faculty. The SMART Board training received the highest evaluation ratings from my staff out of all of the professional development sessions they participated in during the school year. Cathy's training was thorough, interactive, and engaging. Cathy shared hundreds of SMART Board lesson planning resources with the teachers... This was our first year having SMART Boards, and we wouldn't have survived it without Cathy! I highly recommend her. Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert.
Cathy was outstanding and had excellent knowledge of content... she presented the material in an orderly fashion. Cathy encouraged excellent discussion in class. I personally have never felt so comfortable contributing in a class.
Awesome training! Didn’t spend too much time on one topic, covered a lot in short amount of time but was still thorough! Really enjoyed the 3 hours & walking away with a lot of new knowledge.
“…Loved Cathy’s ability to be flexible and adaptable to the workshop participants’ needs. Wonderful presenter. Wealth of information, not only on SMART but also as an educator—pedagogically sound!
