What Teachers Are Saying About Our Resources

This is great and very adaptable. I am so interested in student-led conferences and this is a great starting point. It provides step-by-step information on exactly how to run student-led conferences. This can even be adapted to traditional parent-teacher conferences. Thank you!

My students love these certificates. We did midyear awards, and now my students are working towards specific certificates for the end of the year. There are so many already formatted, but I love the fact that I can edit them for those unusual/unique students and situations. Can’t wait until the end of the year!

I copied this resource on a bunch of different colors and sent home positive notes to students who did exceptional work or showed exceptional behavior or were leaders in the classroom. In turn, this helped me significantly improve classroom behavior management!
