"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..."

Working with Angela Stockman to support our implementation of a new elementary report card and standards aligned grading practices has been a highly positive experience. Angela's extensive experience in educational consulting was evident in her ability to navigate complex topics with professionalism and sensitivity. Her approach, whether through virtual planning, email communication, or in-person facilitation, was consistently clear, respectful, and constructive.

‍

Angela's professional development sessions were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, addressing the unique needs of our K–5 team with practical strategies tailored to our school’s philosophy. Our teachers left feeling inspired, supported, and ready to implement meaningful changes in their classrooms.

Angela Stockman's work has informed every part of my journey from a teacher centered to student centered world. From her creation of the multimodal toolkit which supports literary analysis to her work with AI that has led my own deep foray into its intricacies, Angela's work never fails to force me to think about the why, the how, and then to document the unfolding.

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.

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.

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.

‍

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!

Thank you again for truly worthwhile professional learning experience. This will not only help me as a teacher, it will positively impact my classroom practice and student learning. The quality and volume of resources you've shared is just breathtaking.

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.

Principal, Akron Elementary School

Angela was absolutely fantastic! She tailored the content to focus on the needs and interests of the participants. Angela was extremely knowledgeable and provided lots of great information, including additional guidance as needed. We had a great mix of time to discuss with others, explore tools independently, and respond in the chat.

Angela remains honest, polite, and professional with the toughest crowds of all. She inspires teachers to question their current practices and to think hard about who they are, what they do, and why they do it. She isn’t afraid to prompt the difficult conversations that we need to be having. It is always a pleasure to be able to sit in on her sessions. She makes wonderful connections between current research, a wide variety of best practices, and what evidence shows our kids need more support with.

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.

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.

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 worked along side Angela as we provided services to many school districts in the Western New York area. Her attention to detail, gifted presentation and training skills were evident in all her work. She did extremely difficult work in breaking down the complex sea of ELA NYS Standards and translated them into usable and identifiable literacy skills for teachers to the benefit of their students. Her insight and experience would be invaluable to any organization she works with.

Angela Stockman worked with our elementary and middle school leadership to provide OUTSTANDING staff development in the area of ELA by using data to support instruction. I was truly impressed by her organization, dedication to our teachers, and pleasant disposition in dealing with traditional professional development obstacles and challenges. Our faculty and administrators were equally impressed. 

‍

Angela is extremely knowledgeable, and she somehow managed to present information to teachers with a wide range of experiences and comfort levels. I learned so much that I cannot wait to implement in my classroom. But, most importantly, I feel so much more comfortable doing the heavy work that I have been trying to avoid.

Working with Angela is an absolute pleasure--she is thoughtful, flexible, and incredibly organized. She is generous with high-quality resources she creates and easily adapts to meet the needs of her audience. Every interaction with her is inspiring.

Angela's work is so detailed, thoughtful, and creative. What a joy to read her work, interview her on the podcast, showcase her insights to the English teachers in my community, and watch her incredible impact across the world.
