"Timing of session was very beneficial and the presenter (Frank Champine) was terrific and very thorough. I would have liked to have had another day...The information presented (in Frank's workshop) was applicable to all subject areas and all levels and was something that we could apply immediately and painlessly..... Including 'critical thinking skills' in my lessons suddenly became an easy thing ... I was able to direct my students toward developing their critical thinking ability."

"Frank Champine naturally blends a sense of humor that clearly made him a favorite among those students who were lucky enough to have him as a teacher before he retired, with an amazing expertise and passion for the concepts of Understanding by Design. Teachers respond well to him because they know he is not a sage on the stage, but a teacher who loves teaching and has experienced ideas that make learning last for students. Administrators respond well to Frank because they respect his in-depth knowledge of curriculum design and staff development as well as his experience as a leader of teachers. Working with Frank is, simply put, a pleasure."

"I wanted to once again thank you (Frank Champine) for the lasting, quality professional development work you did with our group last summer and in October... I just LOVE listening in on conversations teachers are having when curriculum is developed to teach for understanding. The "buzz" in the room is music to my ears. We could not have accomplished all that we have without your expertise.... "
