In Their Own Words
Amy Tyburski, TeacherThe work I’ve done with Flamboyan has completely changed my teaching practice. Relationships are at the forefront of everything that I do as a teacher. In order for students to be successful, they need to trust their teachers. The trust that I’ve established with my students is a result of the trusting relationships I’ve built with their families.
In Their Own Words
Shareeda Jones, Parent TrainerMy hopes and dreams for my children are that they continue to put education first, stay on or above grade level, attend college and make a difference in whatever they put their minds to.
