Jeff Fairweather, Principal, Glenview Middle School East Moline District #37
"
I have wo
rked with several presenters during my years in administration. Dea Conrad-Curry is by far one of the best presenters we have had in our school. From pre-workshop planning through post workshop implementation, Dea made herself available to staff and administration. She truly has a passion for differentiation and improving the quality of education in schools."
Georgia Kouris Assistant Principal of Curriculum
Rock Island High School "Dea Conrad-Curry knows her content and respects the knowledge base of her audience. Dea is an engaging presenter who consummately blends levity with current, complex educational topics. Dea practices the best instructional strategies, involving every teacher in the learning process. We brought Dea back to our school because our teachers asked for her!"
Kathryn Bennett, Principal
Immaculate Conception School
Monmouth, Illinois
"If you are looking for a way to help
your staff wrap their arms around Response to Intervention, you’ll want to
consider Dea Conrad-Curry’s compact, but ever so informative presentation on
how to plan for RTI. The three-hour in-service definitively explains what RIT
is and is not! Educators will quickly learn the vocabulary of RTI and be able
to distinguish between universal screening and progress monitoring. You’ll be
in and out of your seats during the presentation and take away numerous classroom
ideas for differentiated instruction. Before Dea leaves your educational
institution, you will have made important decisions that normally take months
for you to collaborate on as a faculty."

Former Curriculum Director Kankakee Schools
"I have worked
with Dea in a K-12 district setting as well as in individual elementary
and junior high schools. She is extremely knowledgeable, but more
importantly, she knows that relationships are essential for adult
learning, just as they are for student learning. I have seen teachers
flourish and student achievement improve with her support in the area
of professional development. I would highly recommend Dea to any school
or district that is committed to achieving their learning goals-- both
staff and student learning. "
Mike Rolinit
is, Former Assistant
Superintendent of Curriculum Kankakee Schools
"In the two years Dea has worked with our teachers, our state reading scores have gone up almost fourteen percentage points. I have to point to Dea's training as one of the main reasons for our improvement."
Respondent
Comments from Post Workshop Evaluations
"Dea offers a clear correlation of the presentation materials to course materials... The best feature of her presentation is clear demonstrations of methods... she allows participants time to practice and work together in small and large groups... Dea models and then allows us to implement the strategies she teaches... All of her presentations are great."
