Success Stories
“Over the years that I have known Dr. Jared Scherz, I have found him to be a highly competent, practical and creative practitioner. I have attended Dr. Scherz’s workshops and have walked away with not only a wealth of knowledge but a complete change in perspective. I have left Dr. Scherz’s workshops revitalized, motivated and eager to share what I learned with my colleagues. Dr. Scherz has spoken to the NJ Association of School Administrators Executive Committee and impressed everyone with his knowledge and in-depth understanding of topics relevant to the world of education. As president of the Passaic County Association of School Administrators, I invited Dr. Scherz to speak at one of our monthly roundtable meetings where he impressed and gained the well-deserved respect and appreciation from all those in attendance. Dr. Scherz is an outstanding resource to any school district. His empathy, understanding, and practical awareness is refreshing, thought provoking and inspirational.”
