“Susan Fitzell is an outstanding presenter and a great speaker. She is clear and engaging. I have seen few people with her ability to effectively work a large crowd. She is able to connect to a diverse audience. She engaged professional staff and pare-educators equally well by presenting material that was relevant to each employee’s every day work life. She is very empathetic and relates well to the audience. She is one of the few presenters I have seen that teaches about active instruction and actually models it in her own work.” – Dean S. T. Cascadden, Superintendent, Bow School District

Burciaga Segura, Special Education Resource and Training Coordinator, NEREC

“When the Superintendent heard Susan’s practical and empowered presentation, she made it mandatory for all of our teachers to attend. Over the course of a year and a half, we had Susan back four times. In my thirty-four years with the school district, this is the only time we have had a presenter repeat a workshop for all staff.” – Ginny Phegley, Green & Sullivan Special Education Cooperative, Linton, IN
