"Julie was a phenomenal presenter who really knows how to capture the audience's attention and hold it until she has articulated all that she knows. Her vigor and excitement about mathematics and teaching in general was a great pairing with Hilde's calm and wise demeanor. She was a joy to work with...."

"Julie (DesOrmeaux)...built a rapport with the teachers resulting in a trust that will facilitate their transition to designing UbD lessons... She is flexible with her planning... I would recommend her to others and plan to bring her back to the district for additional training at a future date...I have already seen a difference in the classroom...I observed two of my teachers this past week. They both had wonderful essential questions and great assessments..."
