Leanne in CA: "You guys are making teaching so much easier and much more fun!"
Lewis in AL: “I am a big fan of your material. I am still loving the shipment from Performance Education
that I received at the end of this past school year. I look forward to using the information in the upcoming
year. Other teachers are jealous. I was elected as Teacher of the Year for my school this year.”
Marybeth in MI: “As a first year teacher, the website and emails have been an absolute savior in many
cases. I appreciate the reminders that I am not alone and my frustrations and struggles are everyone elses.”
Evelyn in South Korea: I am currently teaching in South Korea and have passed your information on to our
Social Studies Dept... You guys do such a great job of getting (teaching resources) for all of the educators out here.

Jane
Where: Suburban high school just north of San Francisco
What: She teaches special ed in high school
How long?: This is her 30th year of teaching.
What does she think?
"Performance Education? I love it. It’s the best I’ve ever seen – and I’ve been teaching a long time.
I’ve told the other teachers in my high school about it. I really push your product.”
Special education
“I’m a special ed teacher. I teach students with severe learning disabilities. The lessons are easy to read, easy to use, very user friendly. I use the overheads – they work really well for short lectures and graphic organizers. But the kids love the games, especially The Bell Game. I went out and bought the bells, of course – and so did the other Social Studies teachers at my high school.”
Students love the speeches
“This week we’re doing the Civil Rights movement. I follow along in your workbook. The kids really got into the activities on Jim Crow. When it came to speeches, each student became a different person in the Civil Rights movement. As you recommend, we’re watching the film ‘Eyes on the Prize.’ And then we’ll do the postcards.”
The California standards
“It definitely fits the California standards.”
“I loved the workbook on Africa . . . and I’ve been to Africa. I used to work for the State Department in Washington, D.C.”
