“The Kindergarten teachers LOVED having you for training. One of our teachers, who has been a teacher for 20+ years, told me it had been one of the most helpful days of training that she's ever had for any subject! We will certainly keep you in mind for future training needs.”
-Kristen Sowers, Grace Academy Head of Grammar School, Georgetown, Texas
“I was glad to be reminded that we are educating students to be excited to learn about God's creation. We want them to wrestle with ideas because God's creation is GOOD and math is the language we use to describe patterns He created.”
-Delaware Valley Classical School New Castle, Delaware
“Sandy, I may be a broken record at this point, but I wanted to write again to say thank you for presenting at SCL and giving me the idea to do Dialogues. It is hard to measure how much difference they have made in my College Algebra class!
Tuesday was our best Dialogue yet - one of my groups blew me away with their engaging presentation, even throwing in a Venn diagram to compare and contrast vertical and horizontal asymptotes! I had to stop class after they finished and say THIS is what I'm looking for! It was outstanding. Several students have told me how much they think the Dialogues are helping them, but mostly from the perspective that it makes them go over the material more times so they obtain better mastery.”

“The best PD that I have been to! Actually helpful! I genuinely feel the activities are ALL helpful and I really enjoyed the styles and personalities of both presenters.
I wish my math teachers were like the two of you [Sandy Schinetsky and Dr. Josh Wilkerson]. I had a 9th grade math teacher that asked me "are you stupid or something?" This made me shut down any love for math until today! You are both math super humans. Keep it up!
I really appreciated the presentation and workshops today. The sample lesson was particularly helpful in seeing and experiencing what this approach can look like. I also loved the consistent message of connecting with the students' humanity and that math is a way for us to connect with ideas and other people. Thank you for a great day!”
