I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Laura Robb. Her knowledge of teaching reading, writing, and differentiating instruction is so deep and so practical. She makes it look so easy, so doable because she actively involved us in the learning. She has helped me recognize that teachers must strive continually for excellence by observing and listening to students as well as reflecting on their written work.

The best guest speakers of this series! Evan’s presentation to our graduate class showed his immense knowledge about leadership and instruction. He showed us the importance of relationships with staff and students and the benefits of building consensus. His stories inspired me to continue taking classes for my administrator’s endorsement. My goal is to be as invested and collaborative as he is.
