“Thank you so much for working with our staff on Tuesday. Your presentation was outstanding. You were right on target with the things I hoped to achieve. As I interacted with teachers on that day and at the staff meeting yesterday, I had many positive comments relative to the content and style of your presentation. I appreciate your positive attitude; you have been a pleasure to communicate with from the first e-mail. I hope we can arrange to benefit from your expertise in the future.”

"As Project Director for a TAH grant for a consortium of charter schools in Utah, I have found the professional development training provided our teachers by Tricia Gallagher-Geurtsen of Cutting Edge Education invaluable. Our teachers are excited and involved, and walk away from each session wanting more. The pedagogy presentations are informative, extremely useful and have given the teachers new approaches to their method of teaching - many more options are open to them to help them make American History an exciting core subject. Thank you for sharing new strategies, providing encouragement and being an awesome mentor!"
-Joan B. Mahoney, Project Director, Teaching American History Connections Project, InTech Collegiate High School, Logan, Utah
