Workshops and Conferences

 

We had a great time listening to you. You kept us engaged, attentive and had an indepth insight and perspective which you communicated well. We also had good laughs and did not realise that so much time had passed. 

Thank you once again and also for going above the time that we had planned!

Each year we bring a different author/speaker. Greg MacDonald was one of our most engaging and informative speakers we’ve had the pleasure to work with, and we can’t wait to bring him back to South Carolina. Almost three years later, our staff and parents still quote Greg on a regular basis.

Greg's 3-day visit to our school was hugely impactful.  Because of the personalized collaboration ahead of his visit and his on-site observations, he was able to deliver an in-service experience that was customized to the specific needs of our school, staff, and learners.  Our teachers felt renewed, challenged, and grateful to have a professional day 100% focused on Montessori fidelity!  Now, months later, we are still drawing on our time with him to strengthen our program.  I know we will continue to do so in the months and years to come.

Parents and/or General Public

Greg's workshops and presentations for our teachers and parents have always been extremely informative and practical.  His ability to deal so well with questions and to use real-life examples to illustrate his replies enriches the experiences of all who attend.
