  • "Dr Murray, this is hands down the best professional development I’ve ever attended. In past years, pd has felt stiff and formulaic. It felt like time was just being used to fulfill our PD obligations. But you worked with our principal and assistant principal on how to approach this year and how to best support our students and their families. You tailored it to our needs and we left both days feeling renewed and excited to start the new year. The hard work you and the team did absolutely showed. The materials are easy to access and I truly can’t wait to have you come back!"
