"Thank you so much for working with us this year. It has honestly been the best staff development I have ever had, and I learned so much about myself and how to be more aware of how others may perceive me. INVALUABLE! Meeting once a month helped keep the momentum going. Thank you!"

“Before I started this work I had decided to leave teaching at the end of the school year. It was too stressful.
That was 10 years ago."

"Catalyst was one of the best staff development courses I have ever taken. The time just flew by with one good idea after another. I was anxious to come back for the second session. I learned techniques that I could use right away and every day in my job as a TAP mentor.
Jacki and Nancy were dynamite, happy to be there and anxious to share their knowledge with us!!!"

"As I reflect about our class this week, the word that comes to mind is transformational."
