Serving Marin County & Beyond
​
Investing time and resources in professional development (PD) is significant. Having participated in numerous hours of teacher training, I recognize the importance of delivering PD that is not only effective but also engaging and meaningful.
Allow me to support and promote responsive change in mindsets and practices in your professional and parent communities.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & PARENT EDUCATION
"Dan, thank you so much. The feedback was entirely and overwhelmingly positive.
The quote I heard repeated was "this was the best professional development I've been to.There is a lot of interest in a follow up!"

"Dan, Thank you for your calm, well-thought-out, and informative presentation today at WSP. Your flexibility in letting the needs and interests of the group dictate the direction of the conversation was refreshing. I also enjoyed how you normalized using his/her/they in discussing students."
