“I attended all four of Nicole Turner’s sessions and found it to be the most valuable aspect. My team and I feel ready to implement what we learned from her practical advice and instruction. The tools and forms she shared will definitely be put to good use. Her experience coaching and supporting teachers in Title 1 schools that need immediate changes to occur was the exact knowledge we needed!”
