"Using Primary Resources and Differentiation sessions were outstanding!  Great presentations/facilitation techniques and tons of useful information."
-Elementary Coach

"The pacing and the variety were great! I think the breakout sessions are the perennial favorite of most of my coaches. It honors the choice and voice, which is vital when working with adult learners."
-IU PIIC Mentor

“As always, it is fantastic to have the opportunity to talk with other educators and share ideas. The opportunity to discuss the PIIC program with the knowledgeable staff really helped me to understand what PIIC was and what my role should be.  The one-on-one meeting with Ellen (Eisenberg) was extremely helpful, and I would highly recommend incorporating it into the presentation for all ‘newbies’.”
-School/District/Regional Instructional Coach

“I really enjoyed the time to talk with others, hear what works and doesn't work, and brainstorm together.  Being there with my IU Mentor and other coaches from my IU was great too; we could talk about things specific to our area and learn together.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this together!”
-School/District/Regional Instructional Coach

"I like how it [PIIC] continues to provide something new to those who have frequented these PIIC meetings as well as provide a framework for those who are newbies. I never fail to come away from these sessions with new ideas. It really is an energizing and empowering professional development approach."
-School/District/Regional Instructional Coach

"I enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to network with professionals who serve in such varied capacities yet who speak the same language. There was the rare feeling of certainty that nearly everyone, no matter what their position or status, genuinely desires to make a difference in students' success."
-School/District/Regional Instructional Coach

“I have literally been to hundreds of workshops and conferences with many subjects and this was by far the most beneficial to me. All [of] the sessions were extremely practical and the knowledge of the presenters and the other coaches and mentors was very impressive.  I am so glad I received this opportunity and am hoping I can do PIIC justice back at the district.”
-Elementary Coach/District Administrator

“This is a fabulous program that has real potential to impact education. PD is critical for any change to occur.  I learned many new things at the conference that I cannot wait to share with others.  I hope that people take advantage of the opportunity.”
