"I loved the section that included questions to ask when analyzing student work. I plan on having that list of questions next to me as I look over the students' portfolios." - Emily Wharton
"The information was delivered in a very logical sequence and easy to follow." - Candice McKinnon
"Hearing the perspective of a Montessorian and how to blend that with teaching in a public school was very helpful. It was nice that she included that in her presentation. The checklists of things to be on the lookout for, as well as the questions to ask when looking at student work or observing were also very helpful." - Andria Hejl

"The presenter was very thorough in helping us to understand all the areas we can gather data from including the students' work, through observation, teacher records, cumulative files, informal assessments and standardized tests. I really like how she uses all of this information to plan lessons for each of the students- where they are and how to move forward. This information helps to plan individual lessons for each student according to their interests and abilities- not only to see where they are lacking." - Maria Costadini
