  • "Using research at the start of many sessions to explain why the curriculum was designed this way was so helpful and increased teacher buy-in. It gave us confidence that we are doing the right thing by the kids."

    -Coach, IL

  • "I really enjoyed your professional development and learning in a dual language/ bilingual environment. It was helpful for me to see Acuarela in action in Spanish (a language that I do not know). I was able to see how the routines, structures and materials in Acuarela help boost understanding and language development. In fact, I feel like I have a little more Spanish language knowledge after going through these lessons as a student in a Spanish class. Thank you so much!"

  • "Todo, la información y estuvo organizada con una excelente didáctica y disposición a contestar dudas."

    -Teacher, IL

  • "I love that not only were the presenters able to lead my teachers through the curriculum, but they supported everything with research."

    -Principal, IN

  • "This was wonderful professional development."

    -Coach, IL

  • "Disfrute que enseñaran como llevar a cabo una clase siguiendo una de sus planeaciones... y que nos hacian participes en las actividades para comprender que es lo que el estudiante debe ir haciendo durante la clase y como abordar los imprevistos. Tambien me gustó la parte teórica para comprender el porqué del programa."

    -Teacher, IL

  • "What was meant to be something required of us teachers, quickly became a want, and a desire. My desire to learn this approach grew increasingly fast with just the first day of learning, to the point where I could not wait to sit down and jump right in. Everything was easy to follow, for the most part, which made the practice time, and the engaging effortless. I was nervous when I had to put my teacher hat on and teach the adults, but I was not afraid to make mistakes. It was with that realization that I was literally like, this is exactly what I want in my classroom. I want my students to be excited to learn every day, every thing, like I was to learn this."
