Comments from Attendees

I truly enjoyed  the TEMI seminars. The positivity coming off them actually left a glow or shine on what we do.  They recharged my batteries."

I learned a lot from you as always and had a great time talking and sharing ideas with other teachers. I will be looking forward to the next chance!  Again, thank you so much for the great seminar.

I thought the JHS and HS Seminar was very practical. I thought the circle of behavior exercise to set the tone for the year was genius! I will have to implement that in my classrooms!

Thank you for an interesting and informative seminar.  I have already begun implementing some of the ideas in my classes with much success.  It was nice to share ideas, bemoan common problems and get positive feedback from fellow teachers as well.
