Jim Walsh and crew – always do a GREAT JOB! It is clear that they understand educators and our passion to do the best job possible for our students. Love that they speak realistically and share stories. 

Jill Morphis

Principal, Sanger ISD

Topics were very relevant and presenters were well prepared . . . great information. Also, I especially appreciate the tongue in cheek humor. It helps to have some light laughter while dealving into such serious topics. Personal stories and examples of actual cases is also a very powerful communication tool.

Karla Dunn

Assistant Principal, Plainview ISD

I appreciated the step-by-step approach to SPED considerations and “hot-button” issues. These will be immensely valuable to me as I face these scary legal considerations in administration. This guidance echoes what I’ve been hearing from my own campus administrator about familiarizing myself with policies and procedures as well as the law and relying on them to guide day-to-day decision-making.
Eric Segovis

Dean of Students, Forney ISD

Wry, informative, and relevant as usual. The only professional development I would attend religiously every summer knowing I will actually hear very current and high priority information. 

Cedric Le Peuch

Assistant Principal, Channelview ISD
