"I want to thank you for the help in getting our school out of ADE school improvement.

"I honestly feel that Beyond Textbooks has helped us to achieve that level for our school. It has been a wonderful experience." -Tina Anderson, Principal
"I love Beyond Textbooks! I created a PowerPoint last year when we had zero resources to teach Euler paths and circuits. Now we have so many resources to teach that concept thanks to Beyond Textbooks. When I taught that concept this year my class was begging me for more practice. They blew the DFA out of the water.....the scores were so high! This is the first year that I feel very confident in my teaching and knowing that my class will do awesome! I have been teaching for 7 years now so for me to finally be able to say that is a relief. Thank you very much!!" -Anycia Klindt, Teacher
"Teachers generally believe that BT has simplified their job in some ways, but also has made them work harder as they realize now exactly what needs to be done for each child." -Doug Watson, Superintendent
"I wanted to thank you for the influence Beyond Textbooks and your leadership has had on my professional growth and understanding of curriculum and instruction. I would not have the same level of understanding or ability to apply instruction frameworks without your example." -Delia McCraley, Principal
"I just wanted to say a special thank you to all of you for a wonderful professional development session! I came away understanding so much more about BT, and how using it with fidelity can help raise student achievement within a school and across a district. I am so excited to be able to support teachers in their use of BT and its various components. I also wanted to congratulate you all for your exemplary skills as presenters. As a member of our district's professional development team, I have a great appreciation for how much hard work and dedication it takes to deliver a highly effective, well-polished, and engaging training session. From the moment I entered the building, I knew I was in a special place filled with highly professional educators who know how to provide top quality customer service and first-rate training." -Jan Spooner, Assistant Principal
"Your BT team members were all top-notch professionals in every aspect. Their outgoing personalities, their ability to quickly develop collaborative relationships, their genuine interest in learning about our teachers and schools, their humbleness about Vail's academic successes, and their patience in answering questions and addressing concerns were unequaled by any other visiting educators." -Roger Jacks, Superintendent
