TeachME Testimonials

>	“Audience was attentive, responsive, respectful, and warm…..I would welcome the opportunity to repeat the experience. I believe that I was helpful to educators, and I learned a lot in the process.”
	Stephen Sroka, PhD Keynote Speaker of the conference
>	"First of all I want to thank all those who have contributed in the success of the TeachME Conference. As a teacher, I was pleased to attend the conference. For me, it was a great opportunity and pleasure to meet people from different schools, backgrounds, cultures, countries… The conference was not only a place to share knowledge but also a place to share experiences, to make friends, an above all to open up on new perspectives. I would to like to present special thanks to Mr. Peter Pappas for his rigor and relevance. I really found his talks and workshops amazing and interesting. I have learned a lot from him, and I am sure that I am going to apply what I have learned from him in my classroom. I would like also to thank Miss Kate Shuster for her enthusiasm, energy, and cheerfulness. I was glad to attend the Students’ Debate Session where I learned a lot about the art of debating. Finally, I have some remarks for the organizers. Well. I think that two days are not enough for this kind of conference. For instance, I was interested in so many workshops and talks, but some of them were held at the same time, so I couldn’t attend all what I wanted to. I really want the organizers to look carefully at this matter and to think of a better management of time and schedule for the next conference. Thank you very much for everything, my specials thanks also to the hostesses who were really kind, helpful, and cheerful. Look forward meeting next conference".

>	"Overall, the organization and physical setup of this year’s conference was greatly improved over last year’s. The initial resource bag we received at registration was an excellent bonus. Having the conference in a hotel that could also house the participants is a must I think from now on, and having the lunch provided was an outstanding idea and well worth any extra cost that might be involved for the participants. Last year's John Joseph, for me, was a tough act to follow, but you did manage to get in some good presenters that had a lot of practical work for teachers to take back to their classrooms. The only suggestion for improvement I would have would be regarding the short talks that were given. Unfortunately, the time was too short for most of the talks and people wanted more information or more time to talk with the presenter. I would suggest either turn the talks into workshops or turn them into discussion sessions based on specific topics. Outstanding job this year and I look forward to attending next year’s conference. Thank you for all the hard work you put into organizing the conference. I for one got a great deal out of it and I know that my students have definitely benifited from my attendence".

>	"A little disappointed that AED2000 was not enough to get my certificate mailed to me (!). At the conference locating the coffee right outside all the rooms created a great noise, especially when people kept coming in and out. …."
