Participant comments

  • This was by far the best training DVHHHS has ever invested in. Engaging and thought provoking. When are you coming back, Vern!?!?!(Windham,MN)

  • Vern was very peppy and humorous. I loved the way he presented this information. Made me open my eyes to poverty. I was totally guilty of thinking some things that were brought up and not acknowledging a persons circumstances. I can’t wait to pass this information on.(Windham,MN)

  • This inservice was the best one I’ve had during an inservice day.He had some amazing strategies I can implement in my classroom and as a district. (Munising Schools,MI)

  • I’ve been teaching 24 years and given the struggle was thinking about retirement. Vern’s training inspired me and I can’t wait for this year!(Munising Schools,MI)

  • I’ve been in education 30 years, and am now a Superintendent. This is the first time I’ve had staff ask if we can only have Vern as a trainer! He has now been here 3 times in 2-years.(Munising Schools,MI)

  • Vern did great and made the day incredibly worthwhile!

  • This was a wonderful presentation. We plan to continue to work on moving this information forward!

  • He was funny, but serious and the hands on activities sparked many useful conversations.

  • I was so impressed that he took the time to look up and learn about our organization so that he had a basic understanding of what our companty does
