⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rosa G. wrote, “We have had a TON of Newcomers this year and a lot of our school has been pretty overwhelmed. My admin asked me to present last minute to the teachers at my school and to be honest, I was so nervous! I bought this PD and COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! The level of detail was incredible and I got so much feedback about how much everyone learned and how engaging the slides were. The handouts were absolutely sensational and even my principal stayed for the PD and told me how awesome it was! Thank you so much for making something that saved me HOURS of work!”
