"Southwest Cooperative greatly appreciates that time, knowledge, and skills
that Diane (Van Ausdall) shared with our group. We were very pleased with
her attention to our needs, tons of resources she shared, and her concise
instruction on UbD (Understanding by Design). We are pleased to begin this
(UbD) journey with Diane as our facilitator.

Everything worked out great! We look forward to her return."

We were very pleased with the work of Everett (Kline) and Diane (Van Ausdall)....Diane came with lots of examples and models to share with the "novice" group. She provided ample materials so that the participants had a clear understanding of her presentation. There was a lot of "aha's"... Everett's work with the "expert" group initiated heavy discussions .... prompting us to redirect our plans for next year.
