"Last fall, I attended a workshop held by Sally Duncan on Short Cycle Assessments for Math. This was by far one of the best sessions I have ever attended. I used these assessments along with my regular routines of PODs, having the students analyze the test results, and my scores were amazing. I had 80-90% of passing rates in my own classroom."
- Kelli Carr, 6th/7th Grade Math Teacher, Washington Middle School
"Lima City Schools has found Sally Duncan to be an excellent trainer. She has provided in-depth instruction to interested teachers who in turn have become a network of trainers and support for the entire Lima City School District quality initiative. Her knowledge and application of quality processes and tools continue to be a valuable resource."
- Larry Cress, Lima City Schools
"Sally has been an asset in our alignment of short cycled assessments to the state benchmarks and indicators. Sally's work with Harding has been a tremendous amount of help. We have made great improvement in both fourth and sixth grade math scores on the Ohio Proficiency Tests."
- Lori Lowe, Principal, Harding Elementary
"Sally Duncan is one of the best national presenters in mathematics that Western Ohio educators have had an opportunity to experience. Participants leave with solid ideas for implementing the Ohio mathematics standards through short cycle assessments and exceptional ideas for lesson plans. I believe that she is making a difference in the lives of Ohio teachers and student achievement in mathematics."
- Sybil Truster, Western Regional Professional Development Center
"What a treasure the world of education has in Sally Duncan! The Koalaty Kid tools and processes have become an integral part of the culture. It is not uncommon to hear students discussing the attributes of 'quality' work, to see a principal demonstrate 'quality' cafeteria behavior and procedures, or to see students organizing their learning through a 'fishbone' diagram!"
- Catherine Pennington, Asst. Superintendent Elementary Ed., Lodi Unified School District
"Sally Duncan has served as a quality coach for Pekin Public School District 108. Through Sally's resourcefulness and facilitation, our ability to integrate quality principles and tools with the Plan-Do-Study-Act process has accelerated. District 108 was successful in winning a state quality award for performance excellence this past year."
- Perry Soldwedel, Superintendent (retired), Pekin Public School District #108
"Sally Duncan's process and tools sessions are unlike any sessions I have attended or organized. She helps teachers understand the tools and processes by showing real student and teacher examples of the work. I have never had a session with Sally that teachers did not leave excited and confident that they too can use the process tools to improve student learning."
- Sandy Jenkins, Regional Coach, Madison/Champaign County ESC
"The data folder presentation was excellent and down to earth. Keep up the outstanding work."
- Rudy Yaksich, District Coach, Erie-Huron-Ottowa ESC
"Sally Duncan seems to be a very popular presenter in this area. Teachers can't seem to get enough of her, no matter what her workshop topic may be."
- Dan Vincent, Medina County Educational Service Center
