School and District Trainer Programs

“The Touchstones Workshop on discussions I attended at the San Joaquin County Office of Education was one of the most helpful workshops I have attended in my 31 years as an educator. Touchstones provides dynamic strategies that can be used by teachers regardless of the subject they teach and the level of the student they are addressing.”

– Alan Hawkins, Staff Development & Head of IBTracy High School in San Joaquin Valley

“The day was a great success here at TCS. I was so pleased with how it turned out. The feedback was [overwhelmingly] positive… perhaps the most indicative comment came from one of our elder statesmen who said it was ‘the best PD we have had at TCS in years’. High praise indeed.”

- M. Healy, Director of Teaching & LearningTrinity College School, Port Hope, ON, Canada
