A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As a fellow educator, I have spent well over 30 years searching for the best strategies for helping struggling students accelerate their Grades 6-12 math skills, and I’m glad to say that these students can find success in math! In these challenging times, your minutes matter. More is being asked of you every year, and many students are coming to your class lacking skills they should have gained previously.

I can show you ways to alleviate your workload without sacrificing results. In fact, you’ll get better results! You’ll notice that your work is more reasonable, and your students will see that their skills are improving. I’m going to show you the unique and easy strategies that get them back in the game and up to speed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I’ll share the best-of-the-best of my classroom-proven strategies. I’m still using these strategies in the classroom every day, so I’m going to show you what is working for me and will work for you.

By our morning break you will want to race back to your classroom and share these techniques with your own students. But then you’d miss all the cool ideas to come throughout the day. I hope you’ll take time out of your busy schedule to join me in this seminar. You’ll find the investment of your time will yield big results for your students and take some of the burden off of your busy shoulders. I can’t wait to get started in helping you catch up your students who’ve fallen behind!

Sincerely,
Brad Fulton

P.S. I guarantee you will leave this seminar re-energized and armed with ready-to-use tools and strategies that will make a tremendous difference for your math students who have fallen behind.
