“I particularly enjoyed observing her classroom visits to co-teach and mentor classroom teachers, and I witnessed the impact she had on the students in those classrooms. She created a safe space for both teachers and students to shine and take ownership of their own personal growth and learning.”

“Soo Jin is so motivating and incredibly dedicated to her craft. Attending her PDs let me walk away with not only an abundance of information, but resources that I could use in my classroom. I think my favorite part of learning with Soo Jin was her PD on Talk Moves. It has been so rewarding to be able to build opportunities for students to engage and develop skills and practices that develop their speaking and listening skills.”

“I’ve attended numerous PDs and trainings lead by Soo Jin and they have all exceeded my expectations. She not only as deep knowledge in the areas of Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, and ELD, but she is also a phenomenal trainer and demonstrator. Soojin’s PD’s are impactful because she not only presents presents great information but she also guides teachers to plan lessons and prepare materials so that teachers can implement right away. Her PDs are always organized and have clear goals and objectives. I’ve been to many trainings as an educator for the past 15 years and Soojin’s have been the best.”
