Fabulous! Applies to all teachers. This is stuff that is meaningful and benefits both the teacher and the students. I wish all my teachers would take this workshop; it is a game changer.

Ready Aim Teach courses are consistently better than the professional development courses required by the county. The information not only feels more relevant, the instructors present the information in a much more engaging manner. I recommend Ready Aim Teach to all of my teacher friends!

Ready Aim Teach courses are always such high quality! … This course is on a meaningful topic, and is presented in an active, relevant way so that I can literally use the content to enrich my students’ experiences on Monday. I could not ask for more.

This course had practical information that can span any grade level or course of study. Throughout the course we were able to actively think and participate in creating what we could use for our classes. Walking away with so many new tools is great as we plan for the upcoming school year.

Engagement was much higher in this course than in any others I’ve taken. I felt like the content was geared toward actionable items rather than fluffy, “cute” activities. I am leaving this course feeling excited to try out some new ideas rather than overwhelmed by more items on my to-do list.

I prefer the Ready Aim Teach workshops to other PDs I have attended. I feel that participant voice is really valued in these workshops, where in other PDs it is mostly the presenters voice that matters.

Sr. Kateri Rose, O.P., Principal, St. Thomas Aquinas Regional School

St. Thomas Aquinas Regional School was blessed to welcome back Amy Kines to lead our teachers in a full-day of training in Differentiated Instruction. Amy is an enthusiastic and engaging presenter who used multiple strategies to explain and demonstrate differentiation for our faculty. Her organization and planning kept the interest of the faculty and engaged them in a way that left them wanting more. Our teachers walked away from this training with a deeper awareness of the need for differentiation, confidence in their ability to meet the diverse needs of their students, and a full “toolbox” of ideas for differentiating in their classrooms.

Amy, thank you so much for the great wealth you have brought to us these last 2 days. It has been so enjoyable, of very high quality and I feel so enlightened now about my colleagues.

Congratulations on a very successful workshop and thank you again for all you have given us. Also the feedback from my team has been incredibly positive and you have really got some sparks lit.
