“My sons always felt heard and appreciated and respected for who they were as your students, which was probably at least as much benefit to both of them as the literary discussions!”
“Carol creates a love of literature like no other teacher my sons have had, including me! She has helped both of my sons love stories that they otherwise wouldn’t have even been interested in. Carol allows the individual students to have different opinions how they felt about the character and story and to express their creative side by allowing them to share how they felt about the book in ways other than traditional academic writing.”
“Carol cultivates a positive learning environment for mind and soul that broadens thinking in both depth and scope, which elevates the best qualities in her students. She encourages cooperation, collaboration, and deep thought and artfully crafts teaching materials and presents it in a unique, engaging way.”
“I asked (my son) what he liked best about your class and he said ‘Well, that’s kind of hard to answer. What I liked best about the class was HER’. 🙂 Then he said something along the lines of, that aside from “you”, his favorite aspect of your classes is that you always were able to take elements of the books and relate them to real life.”
“Carol is very balanced. She acknowledges more than one side to a topic or subject, and is willing to embrace multiple viewpoints and beliefs with genuine acceptance. She is extremely creative and presents information in a non-typical, light manner that supports learning, as well as adding challenging new ideas and concepts.”
“Carol is one of those people who possess the unique ability to open a young person’s mind to the wonder of learning. Her passion and creativity have a way of infecting all who are lucky enough to be in the classroom with her. I believe that we all, child and adult alike, could use a steady dose of Carol. She is what learning is all about!”
