"Rebecca Zullo has been an excellent resource for our staff and for our school. She is professional, easy to work with and a very effective trainer. Ms. Zullo has provided training to help our teachers enhance their Reading, Math and Language Arts instruction. Each time, she solicits feedback from staff about their specifc needs and tailors training that will target their greatest challenges with students. Her willingness to work with us this way has made her training consistently relevant, an effective use of time and motivates the teachers to make the training a priority. I have recommended Ms. Zullo to colleagues who are looking for help for their teachers, and I will continue to do so." --Greg Plantner, M.Ed., Lorain Summit Academy Elementary School Director
"The best and most useful class I have honestly ever taken. I wish I had taken this in the beginning of the school year and not the end! Why didn't my college teach this?"--Patti, 4th-5th grade teacher, Hands-0n Math K-8 participant
"I have learned how to use math manipulatives in a way that will increase my students' understanding of math concepts."
--Hands-On Math participant
"I now have an understanding of how students learn mathematics. With Rebecca's guidance, I learned how to introduce math concepts with concrete (hands-on) activities and then have students represent the concepts (visually) on paper. When students are ready, I can guide them toward the abstract level. I feel more confident in my math instruction because now I know how to design lessons which provide deep learning of math concepts."--Elementary teacher, course participant
"No one writes and delivers a course like Rebecca Zullo. I highly recommend her math and literacy courses for educators because they are informative, interactive and interesting. The teaching strategies she presents are useful for all grade levels and are research-based. Participants are engaged throughout the sessions and are provided with numerous opportunities to share and apply the strategies to their particular classroom setting. Rebecca's course content and delivery style were so inspiring that I was able to walk away with new ideas and a fresh approach to teaching that I hadn't experienced before. As an educator having had many years of teaching experience, I found her courses to be valuable and fulfilling. Allow yourself to have the same rewarding outcomes as I did." --Jeananne Siegferth, 3rd grade teacher, Teacher Trainer
"Many teachers only tell you what you need to do to be an effective math teacher. Rebecca provided us the tools to do so."
--4th grade teacher, Hand-On Math participant
"The connection of math and language/reading is unique to the class. Most math classes I have taken do not connect this well."--Elementary Teacher, Hands-On Math K-8 participant
"As a teacher in a high-poverty school, I believe the key to future success for my students is achievement in math. Rebecca Zullo's Hands-On math class provided me with high-interest math lessons that helped my students successfully move from concrete to abstract thinking in the Ohio Standards. The students became so engaged in math this year that my IEP students fought against leaving my class to go to the resource room! My teaching was energized, and as I began to use manipulatives on a daily basis I began to automatically consider additional ways they could be used to enhance and extend my teaching. I highly recommend Rebecca's class to new and experienced teachers alike!"
--Karen Cahall, 5th grade teacher
"Rebecca provides teacher and student friendly handouts that are useful and meaningful. She knows what teachers need to provide solid math instruction." --Hands-On Math participant
"Rebecca made this class enjoyable. I found many new ideas to use, even as a 34-year veteran. I cannot wait to get back and use all my new ideas..." --5th grade teacher
"I have found a plethora of information to work on with my children. I know this information will help ease some of the frustration with math homework." --Hands-On Math K-8 participant
"Thank you, Rebecca! Your knowledge and enthusiasm for your content is contagious. The activities shared in this course make math concepts concrete and meaningful. I can't wait to get back to the classroom." --Hands-On Math K-8 participant
"This class gave numerous ideas for a variety of ages and used materials that are readily available in classrooms or at the dollar store." --Sue Rickard, K-3 Special Needs Educator
"Wonderfully creative! This course helps teachers create math lessons kids will love." --Elementary Teacher, Hands-On Math K-8 participant
"This class lived up to the name because we continually did hands on work." --Hands-on Math K-8 participant
