About Donna's Professional Development for Educators
Professional Development for Teachers
Donna is among a select few who lives the common threads of excellence
in multiple disciplines and who applies them to education. A renowed concert
flutist, professional athlete, and published writer, Donna's expertise
is in the field of learning. Fundamental to all learning is the desire to
know more and to apply that to one's life, no matter the age or degree of
intellectual skill. Dynamic, practical, and engaging, Donna provides teachers
an experience that immediately transfers into practice. Included in all
of the seminars are handbooks which outline all of the excercises experienced
by the participants, the foundations for use in the classrooms, and guidelines
for expansion of the learnings.
"The best workshop I have ever attended."
"My head is racing with ideas and will continue to do so."
