Melissa Booth

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR CURRICULUM, CALOOSA MIDDLE SCHOOL

“I have just finished the second day of preschool week with my teachers and I could not let another minute go by without sending you an email to let you know that Cooperative Meetings are LIFE CHANGING!!

Being a part of your training at Summer Academy and taking my learning back and implementing Cooperative Meetings has been transformational. Even though it has only been two days, the relationship building that my teachers have done with one another is AMAZING. I am hearing laughter, seeing smiles, and watching lightbulbs go on all across the room. It is so cool to see people sitting in cooperative teams with people that they have never worked with before.

Even more rewarding is the opportunity to model structures and then lead teachers in reflection about how they can implement these same activities in their own classrooms with their own students.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me the confidence and skills necessary to not only transform my own teaching, but to positively influence the teaching of some already amazing educators who are ready to take it to the next level!”
