program appraisal

“I enjoyed the hope and optimism with (which) Dani shares her knowledge about the myriad (of) topics she teaches. Not only have my thoughts and viewpoints been challenged, they've also been refined and reinforced.”

Douglas Johnson,

“Global Ethical Issues class was definitely a learning experience. This class gave me an opportunity to grow out of my ignorance. Compared to what I am experiencing now in my Sociology class, my class seems like nothing. I have become a more conscious individual because I now choose to acknowledge the affect that my daily choices have on the world. This class is a wonderful opportunity for students everywhere, I feel honored to have had the chance to take the course, and learn from such a knowledgeable individual like Ms. Dennenberg.”

Brianne Lauer-Mayes,

“Seeds for Change is an outstanding and insightful program that should be mandated by each district. Students are exposed to information that makes them think outside the box and as a result students are motivated to think and act more compassionately and kindly toward the environment, themselves and one another. Ms. Dennenberg is dedicated to her program and students. She connects very well to students and is naturally gifted teacher.”
