Testimonials

Michelle Stewart

Superintendent

Happy Valley School District in Santa Cruz, CA, is celebrating exceptional academic growth—reporting 83% proficiency in Math, an 8% jump in just one year and now 6% above pre-pandemic levels. Sixth grade alone saw a remarkable 12% increase.

Ryan

High School Teacher

“We learn about teaching strategies, and we feel like, ‘this is great, but I don’t know what this means or I don’t know how it works or what it looks like’. In the lab classrooms, you can see and talk to the teachers that do what you want to do.”

Nicole Johnston

Principal of Kennedy Middle School

"I have never once had a teacher walk out of a PEBC professional development course and say it was a waste of time. It’s not canned professional development. It’s quality, research-based work that is customized and differentiated. The teachers always say (the training) was the best thing ever.”

Keri Gordon

Denver Public Schools Teacher

“Working with PEBC can restore your sense of need in the classroom. I look at everybody at PEBC as my intellectual mentors. This is my purpose as teacher.”
