Practicing Radical Hospitality Creating Beloved Community for All Children

 

 

"The workshop was so wonderful and much more interactive than expected."

"As a volunteer teacher I have never known what to do about disruptive children. Sally’s information on positive behavior techniques are so easy to implement. Not only can I use them in teaching, I can use them with my own children."

"I am so grateful for the information on teaching to multiple learning styles. I now have some great ideas for keeping all the children engaged in the Sunday’s lesson."
