“Jon does an excellent job adjusting to accommodate our needs as we go through the session.”
“Jon is a wonderful educational leader who demonstrates his expectations through his methods of presentation. He follows the instructional practices he asks our teachers to use, and he challenges each of our PLC groups at the level they are in, through differentiated activities. I have greatly enjoyed each and every visit he has had with us this year, and I truly believe we are better than we were because of his guidance and presentations. I would highly recommend him to any school seeking to grow and improve.”
