What People Are Saying

Heart of Missouri Teacher

This is by far the most helpful and informative training I have been to. All three of the instructors were super knowledgeable, welcoming, and just all around helpful. They created a super safe space to ask any and all questions. All three said they would be more than happy to help any of us anytime, I actually believe that they would make and take the time to do that, while at the same time not making you feel like a burden. Super grateful I was able to come to the training today. Highly recommend.
