"The workshops (with Hilde McGeehan) were a great success....The material (she) provided did just what we needed framework and a common vocabulary. Thank you for listening and for so carefully preparing and presenting a workshop that satisfied our needs."

"Hilde McGeehan completed a two-day professional development workshop on "Understanding By Design" to a varied group of middle school teachers. Her deep knowledge and understanding of subject matter, coupled with her patient and knowing way of communicating allowed her and our staff to fully connect on a variety of topics ­ all related to UBD...Hilde was thorough in her delivery and was very accommodating when asked to provide additional information, either in writing or through references to texts, authors, etc. She was engaging and entertaining in her presentation and managed to bring a highly varied audience together on an equal playing field in a short two days.

We would look forward to being able to continue our curriculum work in the future with Hilde at the helm!"

"Hilde (McGeehan) was just what I needed for the group. She tailored her presentation to meet our needs and at the end of the day she and I debriefed and she went home and made modifications to her plans for the following days. The group felt very confident in their stage 1 understandings and had a very productive final 2 days planning our inservice. She really knows her stuff... "
