“Dr. Malik customized her session specifically for our faculty. She was thorough, professional, and very engaging. Very inspiring while still practical, with good materials for our teachers to use.”
“Dr. Malik presented a workshop to our teachers on differentiation. She was flexible and customized the workshop to our school. A veteran teacher shared with me that this was one of the most helpful professional developments he’s had in his career. I would highly recommend having Dr. Malik come in and share her expertise with your staff!”
“Dr. Malik provided an excellent and informative workshop, which aligned with our school’s needs. She is extremely professional and does an outstanding job of sharing her experience, expertise and knowledge in a well-organized format.”
“Dr. Malik provides collaborative and comprehensive professional development and materials. Her wealth of knowledge easily engaged my staff and provided useful tools they could easily implement in their classrooms.”
“Dr. Malik made the overwhelming process of creating a rubric very doable! She broke the process into easy-to-follow steps and provided us with the tools to create a school-wide rubric. I am confident that I can now create my own grade-level and content-area rubrics.”
“My staff was new to the concept of Growth Mindset. Dr. Malik presented information that was concise, and understandable. She even gave us tools to use in the classroom right away. It was a nice introduction to the subject.”
“Kristine worked side-by-side with our administration team to plan out the multi-session professional development for our faculty. She listened to our needs and thoughtfully curated a PD series that was not only individualized to our building mission and our accreditation goals but interactive as well! Kristine was extremely professional every step of the way: from her planning, reliability and punctuality, presentation of content and interaction with our staff and students!
“Kristine was extremely knowledgeable on the topics presented. During the workshops she helped us problem-solve real-time scenarios, and provided us with tools and resources that our teachers were able to implement immediately within their classrooms. Thank you, Kristine, for participating in our school mass! And thank you for the hard work and dedication you showed our staff and school. We are extremely satisfied with your work, so thankful for your guidance, and we cannot wait to have you back in the fall!”
