The Lake County Regional Office of Education in Grayslake, Ill.
got certified to present Research-Based Creative Training Strategies in 2009.
We have been offering the program since then to teachers in our area.
One of the most gratifying experiences as an RCTS trainer
occurred during an unannounced visit to a middle school
language arts class last month. I observed a teacher, who had gone
through training in April, doing an opener, a revisiter, and a closer she had
experienced in the RCTS training. Her students were totally engaged, enjoying
themselves, and learning the content!
That is what is so great about Bob Pike programs. Not only
are the strategies immediately useful, but the results are life changing.
Shay McCorkle was a
