Testimonials

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the valuable partnership with CEC we’ve shared this school year. I love working with Valerie and have been impressed by her expertise, enthusiasm, and ability to accommodate our learning needs at Cather.  

Given the success of our partnership and the benefits we’ve experienced, I am very interested in continuing our collaboration for many years to come. I believe that continuing our work together will further enhance our implementation of co-teaching, differentiation, and small-group instruction.

It has been a pleasure having Tracy at our elementary schools. The teachers left with a deeper understanding of universal instructional practices that positively impact student learning and how to address the diverse needs of students in our classrooms. They also shared that they feel more confident using the data and reporting tools within our curricular resource.

I want to thank you, Lea Anne, again for the training that you provided to the SECA’s.  They spoke so highly of you and even said that this was the best training that they’ve ever had.  You provided them with many strategies and tips to help support them when working with their students.

On behalf of the OMME Dual Language Team, I want to extend our deepest and most sincere thanks for your generous sponsorship of the 2nd Annual CPS Dual Language Conference.
Your support was instrumental in making this event not only possible but truly special. Because of your generosity, we were able to bring in an inspiring keynote speaker– which helped create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone could feel motivated and inspired.
You know that this conference is more than just a professional development opportunity for us—it is a sacred space for learning, connection, and affirmation for educators who are deeply committed to multilingual and dual-language education. Your contribution helped us honor their work in a meaningful way, and for that, we are truly grateful.
We know that educators thrive when they feel supported, and your investment helped send a powerful message: that their work matters and that there is a community behind them that believes in what they do.
Thank you again for standing with us in this mission. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to continued collaboration in the future.
With heartfelt thanks
Dr. Massiel Zaragoza
