Testimonials

Below are select testimonies from educators and leaders who participated in our programs.

“I am always so grateful to hear very practical strategies I can take back to my classroom and my teachers.”
— Shefa Center PD Participant
“I think this should be mandatory for school teachers. Giving practical examples [on] how to make math a visual and tactile experience, and how to use appropriate math language has been the most useful part for me."

“[what I found most useful about the MSM Summer Workshop was] … A carry through approach to all grades that I hope to help bring to our school. I think in regular day schools, we often miss the students who are struggling. We give them the best we can, but with so many students in the room, it is sometimes difficult. I feel more equipped to give all students more understandable concepts."

“I benefited so much from the PAF training we did last summer. After using non-PAF methodology for 20 years, I can't believe the difference PAF has made in my life and the lives of my clients. I never thought I would prefer a different method, but I've completely moved over to PAF since the training and am seeing really great results!"
