Client Testimonials
-
“As a teacher, I am very guarded with my time. Mrs. Donahue’s PD, however, was exceptional and well worth the time. Mrs. Donahue came across as genuine, well-informed, and approachable. She did a superb job of pacing the presentation. There was a balance between interactive discussion and direct instruction. Mrs. Donahue did an exceptional job of moving the conversation along when necessary. This resulted in a dynamic session devoid of boring segments that dragged on.”

“The seminar gave me so many useful and practical strategies, for myself and my students, as I navigate how best to implement trauma informed de-escalation techniques in my classroom. Really appreciate how you are able to combine theory and reality into such an engaging training session. Your deep knowledge, of theory and the students we work with, is obvious when you are able to pivot and take advantage of the teachable moments during the training.”
