A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Thank you for your commitment, enthusiasm and joyful energy for teaching our youngest students. As preschool and kindergarten teachers, we are in a demanding and “pressure-filled” environment each and every day. Over my years of teaching, I have seen the academic expectations of our youngest students change dramatically. We are the first teachers to emphasize educational standards that will follow our learners throughout their years of formal education. Keeping the focus on our students and helping them be successful, while “fitting it all in” is not an easy challenge for us.

I have designed this seminar specifically to help you maximize the learning of your preschool and kindergarten students, while working smarter, not harder. Our day will be devoted to exploring outstanding, timesaving ways you can best integrate the vital instructional approaches your preschool and kindergarten students need most. I want to equip you with the best, most current ideas and resources to help you powerfully support your students’ success, while “fitting it all in.”

I am excited to share with you the ideas, activities and strategies I have found most successful with my own students. Everything I present is practical, meaningful and easy to use within any program and with any curricula. Join me and experience the same joy of learning that your students will feel when they step into your amazing classroom. I personally look forward to meeting you at the seminar as we share our dedication and passion for teaching our youngest students!

Let’s work smart together!

Sincerely,
Sheri Sutterley
