“I wanted to say that after many, many, many summer PDs in the 30 years that I have attended, this one stands out as one of the best. Your words were not "profound". Your strategies were not unusual. Your ideas were what every 1st year, and 30th year teacher needs to hear. Things that we can do naturally and without much thought or preparation to ensure all children are successful. I needed to hear what you had to say. And your delivery definitely kept me engaged.”
“As always, Dr. Tate was an absolute hit.”
