“Myself and two other teachers spent a few hours with Yolande. Her expertise, practical strategies and positive outlook made our training session one of the most valuable professional development experiences I have had. She is a wealth of information and provides useful, positive strategies that are easy to implement. I appreciate the focus on positive behaviors in students.”

“I have 34 years of experience at Wild Rose School Division and often find the material repetitive from past Professional Development, but this was not. It was amazing. Thank you. A great learning experience.”

Yolande and Lauren held space for all of us so well and were incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. Overall, very engaging. My favourite was getting to put what we’d learned into practical, on our feet situations, and being able to ask highly specific questions that pertain to what we do in classrooms as educators.
