Our Testimonials

"Very useful PD. Kelly is super nice, knowledgeable and has like a contagious passion about her work. Can she come work here - like as a permanent GLTS coach? I want more PD with her for our entire department - to help us further with our IEP development, progress monitoring, and also for our entire faculty - to remind all of our teachers of the components / requirements of special education."

- Special Education Teacher

"It was great that Kelly sent the PD slides as there are going to be an incredibly useful references for IEP planning / writing. She is super open and states that she is accessible if we have questions. I also enjoyed the classroom activity ideas that she shared as well. I want more PD (with her) for our entire department - to help us further with our IEP development, progress monitoring, and also for our entire faculty - to remind all of our teachers of the components / requirements of special education. So far, the PDs provided for Special Education have been awesome."

"Kelly is awesome! It was very helpful and I plan on using her slideshow as a reminder/refresher as well. Very informative session yesterday."

- Special Education Coordinator

"I thought that the PD yesterday was fantastic! Kelly did a great job of keeping us engaged, which can be difficult on a zoom meeting and allowing us time to reflect on our own practices away from the screen too. I would also love to have her come in and present to the entire department - if we ever get back to face to face. I also think that she could be a valuable person to present to the general education staff as well - to explain to the time what their role in the process is. Sometimes coming from someone outside the building is what staff needs."

- School Administrator

"I enjoyed listening to Kelly. She had many best practices ideas and was able to break down how important it is to be explicit when writing goals for our students. I love how she had a Quizlet available, which was based on how well we know disabilities. She would be great teaching PD for our department. Definitely engaging."
