Past CFEE Participants say:
“This program has made me a better classroom teacher, as well as a
better leader.”
“I feel empowered to address and attack the problems that I see at my
school. For the first time, I have been provided with a tool that can
support me while I support others.”
“I am extremely impressed with the quality of presentations,
resources, facilitation – I am walking away with some very concrete
skills and a greater capacity for thinking, asking questions, and
reflecting.”
“I wish I had been exposed to BayCES sooner and that more districts
would make use of your services. I’ve been a high school teacher for
eight years, and I’m positive that if I had been coached by someone
who followed your model, I could have been a much better, much more
confident teacher.”
