“We really enjoyed Melissa’s presentation. She was clearly very passionate about what she does. She gave our staff many easy to apply strategies to specialize instruction for our students and gave us the experience of trying it ourselves. She made the day fun and gave ideas for how to help students retain information. She explained the research behind the strategies she presented and modeled as well. We’ve actually already recommended Melissa to other colleagues of ours who were asking about PD opportunities!”
