Success Stories
“Dr. Scherz provided my district with an engaging, impactful and personalized workshop. The teachers involved not only enjoyed their time with Dr. Scherz, but asked to have him back next year. The knowledge and experience he brings to a "live" presentation are readily seen in the TeacherCoach professional development modules. With pertinent information presented in a fun manner that is just the right length of time (not too short as to withhold relevant information but not too long to lose the audience's interest), the Teacher Coach platform will be a welcome addition to Springfield's professional development offerings. Dr. Scherz is a true professional and his commitment to giving back to the education profession is admirable.” - Craig Vaughn, Superintendent of Springfield School District
“TeacherCoach is an excellent way for administrators to provide necessary professional development, and it gives life to those "boring" topics that are an annual must! The variety of topics offered allows teachers to govern their own professional development. This is so important because who better knows what you need in order to grow than yourself. The best part is that the topics help teachers with not only their professional growth but their personal growth as well. TeacherCoach is an excellent tool to allow schools to save money on professional development while also making money just for utilizing the resources. “Asia Michael, Director of Curriculum for Springfield School District.
