What Are Teachers Saying?

I really appreciated the coach's insights into my classroom. It is always helpful to have an outsider perspective on a space and practice that is so personal as my classroom. The coach seamlessly blended into the classroom each time she visited and she was always able to provide meaningful feedback and suggestions.

The coach was extremely professional. He identified my strengths and provided great strategies. Please note, I have 29 years of teaching experience. I think Thoughtful Teacher would help every teacher.

The 10 steps in the Thoughtful Teacher Program helped me to become better in classroom management quickly. The steps discussed in the program are day-today teacher activities that every teacher will face and must master to become efficient. The steps are clear and short, making them easy to remember and practice on a daily basis.
