What Administrator's Say:


Dr. Boyer's innovative and pragmatic approaches to leadership training, curriculum development, and assessment issues make her indispensable to the school system attempting to plan for excellence in the 21st century.


During the past seven years I have seen Gretchen working with individual teachers on creating assessments, leading large groups through curriculum planning and attending social functions with teachers and school administrators, community leaders and politicians. In every setting Gretchen has the perception to help others achieve success, model exemplary leadership skills and say the right thing. She is a very capable and personable resource.


What Specialists say:


I always have a spectacular time working with Gretchen. She is a real professional, with a great amount of knowledge about curriculum in general and visual arts in particular. She has an innovative style that enables participants to build successful solutions to the problem. She is focused, perceptive, creative and can get the job done!


Gretchen is very well organized and has more than adequate resources for her presentations. She guides groups well and I have been able to dovetail my knowledge with the information she has supplied. One comes out of her presentations with lots of fresh ideas and motivation to explore them, unlike some presenters whose info you file and forget.


Gretchen's training helped me to look at what I was really teaching, how I was teaching it and what the students were really learning. This training would help teachers with little experience as well as those who have been teaching for many years
