Mrs. Stockman has worked with our K-12 common branch and ELA teachers for over 10 years. Her direct professional development work with these teachers has undoubtedly contributed to Starpoint CSD’s dramatic increase in student achievement as evidenced by the district climbing from a Business First rank of 26th to 6th. Her knowledge of our standards, curriculum design, and effective teaching methods is unmatched. In addition, she has a keen ability to connect with K-12 teachers and motivate them to improve their practice.

There are so many things I appreciated about this hybrid course, but to cut it down to a few: The format: I loved that I could watch the video, but that the slideshow was provided to allow us to use links for articles and videos. The debriefs: The conversations were amazing and inspiring. Hyperdocs: Seeing the work and thoughts of others–even those that were not in the debriefs that I attended. Flex: That you offered 4 different times to debrief! You not only discussed good practices for distance learning, but you modeled it with your course as well.

Angela is one of the strongest, most compassionate and skilled facilitators I have worked with in my 16 years as Director and Coordinator of Professional Development. She is flexible and learner centered in all of her work. Relationships and trust are paramount in her work. She works closely with our administrative team and is responsive to all of their needs. It has been my pleasure to work with Angela and will continue to utilize her for her professionalism and skills whenever possible.

I appreciated the opportunities to read about the power structures behind writing instruction, the ability to put ourselves in the shoes of our learners are we built before we wrote, and the access to videos of Angela teaching and modeling make writing. Also, I found the explicit directions on how to incorporate multi-modal forms of writing in our current curriculum to be extremely helpful and easy to share with colleagues.

This was a GREAT seminar! Angela Stockman was a fantastic presenter. She was easy to understand, responsive to our questions, and did an excellent job relating the material she was sharing with us in a practical way.

"We go down too many rabbit holes when discussing assessment, tests, data, and evidence.  Angela Stockman provides a powerful perspective focusing on interpreting the myriad of information that teachers, leaders and students encounter in every lesson..."

Angela was so insightful. She was an excellent source of information and a great facilitator. This is one of the best online seminars I have been involved in by far! I am so glad that I took a day off for this!

Akron Elementary has benefited greatly from Angela Stockman's expertise over three years. Spending nearly fifty days with us, she helped navigate curriculum changes and improve our literacy and writing instruction. Her mastery in literacy and writing methodologies has been invaluable to our district.

Todd Esposito

Principal, Akron Elementary School

Angela is one of the most generous and inspiring educational leaders that I have had the privilege of working with. Angela motivates educators by teaching them how to make writing and literacy learning accessible for all learners. She has a deep and thorough understanding of literacy and how students learn. Angela is more than willing to go above and beyond with teams that she supports through electronic sharing on social media platforms and beyond.
