Thank you! I’m looking forward to giving my students more authentic experiences.

The feedback I heard coming from our member-district partners was ALL extremely positive! This was a great beginning to much-needed conversations. Thank you for organizing and making this happen, Shelly Thome! ~regarding The West-MEC ESS Summit

I think the classes offered at West-Mec are well worth the time spent. Comfortable format. It also gives you a chance to network with other professionals.

This is the second class I’ve taken from Julie and John. They both keep the class interesting and engaging. I left class knowing that it was time very well spent.

This PD was very useful for brand new teachers and veteran teachers, like myself. I learned new strategies that I will be able to implement in my classroom right away.

Patrick was energetic, funny, and engaging. All students were willing to participate and share. The PD boosted the moral of the students and made them excited to try their new strategies. This was an awesome experience for students and teacher leaders. ~regarding CTSO Chapter Officer Training

West-MEC always has a great presentation.

As a new teacher, I always find not only the classes and the materials useful, but the networking and friendships are just as valuable. It’s wonderful to hear from so many different areas of teaching and I always learn so much from the other teachers and administrators who attend!

I thought the presentation was very informative and much needed. I would like to see this, or parts of it, presented to individually campuses to provide PD about the program, options, and requirement levels to be given to counselors and special education case managers.

Julie Stockwell is a truly unique person. The optimism she provides, as well as the insights to quirks and gears of a student’s mind really help bring home the content of the classes she presents. Professionalism starts here, Julie is 100% the best at showing you through hard-work and questions where you could take your class and how to bring it all together in one felt swoop. Not to mention her side-kick John who’s a hoot too! -Jennifer Angel
