What Educators Are Saying
You Just Have No Idea How You Have Switched My Brain From Cruise Control To Turbo! I Owe You! It’s Actually FUN To Teach Again! It’s FUN For My Students To Learn!”
“I think I know have an educational crush on Holly and all I want now is to have an infused classroom and show the world the power of this way of teaching.”
“Holly was THE BEST PRESENTER we have ever hired. The best part for our teachers was all the student examples! It really helped the teachers be able to wrap their heads around what other schools are doing to become more student-centered and how we can effectively integrating technology better. We have had her back three times and will continue to work with her for years to come! ”
“FIVE STARS for our one day session. We divided the day into Elementary and High School and Holly was able to reach every teacher (even the hard to reach AP Math teachers). I don’t know how she does it but we were all engaged and the day went by too quickly. The resources she left for the teachers have helped keep us moving forward. Thanks Holly, this was exactly what our school needed.”
