Michigan Teacher Inspires Us to Inspire You:
I came expecting to be recharged and inspired – I didn’t expect to be changed! No other education classes than these with Summer Institutes have focused primarily on changing the teacher so that he/she can be unleashed to make the most powerful impact possible in the world and in individual lives! With Sincerity, Angela Schneider 2020
What is a 5-Star Presenter?
In order to be considered 5-star with Summer Institutes, presenters have gone through the University of Pacific’s official evaluation/critique form after each SI event. All teachers are asked to reflect back on the speakers and score them on a 1-5 scale, with 5 representing the highest score. These 5-star presenters were voted to be a favorite with all “5”s and have been selected due to their excellence in communicating and teaching. They have been invited to return and be a part of our current line-up of our NEW SI 5-Star Series.
