"What an excellent presentation! I learned more than any other PD in my 25 years!" —Webinar participant

"T
his was honestly one of the best PDs I've ever had. Bring her back! —Webinar participant

"Best presenters we've had in years! Thank you!" —Workshop participant

"
Super inspiring and practical presentation!"—Workshop participant

"They have been awesome! Continuing to open my mind and heart to others, making me a more sensitive, aware teacher has been a gift. Continuing my lifelong journey of discovery and self responsibility has been an eye-opening experience." —Workshop participant

"This has been, by far, the most sincere focus on this topic since the district has made it a priority. It's nice to have people who have actual data and experiences talk on this topic rather than simply a mandatory PowerPoint read during a staff meeting." —Workshop participant


"Thank you so much for your training today. It was a very thought-provoking, intense session, which has continued my desire to do what I can to help make change where I see I have the most impact." —Workshop participant

"
For two years, our school contracted with Dr. Swalwell as we made social justice education more central to our students' learning. It was the best decision we could have made. Dr. Swalwell's research expertise in social justice teaching and learning in elite schools combined with her innate ability to engage faculty, staff, school leaders, and parents made her invaluable to the process. For Dr. Swalwell, the importance of the work comes first; consequently, 'Katy' became a household name on campus and someone faculty, staff, and administrators grew to trust, relate to, and learn from." --Christiane Connors, Edmund Burke School

"We appreciated Katy’s perspective as our organization continued our collective discussions on racial justice. Katy’s energy, passion and professionalism were greatly appreciated." —Joel Schmidt, Alliant Energy
​
"Their research-based sessions provided our group with a solid foundation from which we can build our equity work."
​—Eric Howard, Iowa Association of School Boards
