“Ms. Kravis delivered an age appropriate, child centered, and curriculum-based staff development workshop, with excitement, energy and fun. Our teachers benefited tremendously from the teacher-friendly support, the promotion of a positive teaching experience, and the passion with which it was presented. On behalf of the Hempstead Public School District, we thank Ms. Kravis for her dynamic staff development workshop, and look forward to working together again, in the future.”
