Administrators
Mary Fowler’s presentation on behavior management was exceptional. She brought positive discipline to reality.
Your presentation and knowledge of the subject were outstanding. You are frank in your discussions of how teachers should manage their classrooms and you gave numerous examples of how that can be done. I also appreciated how you tailored your presentation to our specific needs. You presented a truly wonderful professional staff development training opportunity and your wit and friendly personality won our hearts.
Classroom Teachers
I am a first year teacher and have “the bad class.” This workshop encouraged me to have the confidence in my ability to teach and do what I know is right.
I really appreciated Mary Fowler’s sense of humor. To recognize the complexities of each situation instead of just rattling off a “solution” or “fix all” was very refreshing. I gained valuable tools!
The seminar addressed problems that are actually occurring among students in my classes. I received concrete suggestions that I can implement easily. The teachers in my group also gave good advice.
I was actually not bored and feel I can use a lot of the information in my class and at home with my children.
Helped me to see that I need to do some things differently.
Mary Fowler talked about the difference between responding and reacting. I learned some new ideas and was reminded of ideas—great advice for handling a “hard to handle” child.
