“Dr. Sharon
Faber is a presenter who workshop attendees remember and
discuss long after the session is over. She is
humorous, practical, inspiring, and attention getting.
Everyone in the room who is paying even the least bit of
attention leaves with ideas to engage students, improve
instructional practices, and developing professionalism.
No one goes away without absorbing the message. From
the examples and stories Dr Faber shares, each person knows
that Sharon has been there, has dealt with the issues, and
understands what it takes to do the complex job we call
teaching. Often in my work with teachers, someone will
say, "Do you remember .... from the workshop the funny lady
did?" and the idea which is remembered is perfectly suited
to the situation at hand.” |

a wonderful presenter with creative and practical ideas" |

|
“Sharon Faber is so very down to earth and
that is why she can keep an audience captivated. Yes,
she has all the knowledge and the degrees to back her up,
but it is when she steps in front of a group of teachers
that she comes alive. She hooks them from the first YA ALL
that she speaks, and they just lean in to hear more!!
My staff all tell me that they can appreciate that SHE HAS
BEEN IN THEIR shoes. It is not pie in the sky strategy
presentation; it is real world strategy that they can take
to the classroom immediately to put to use. Sharon is a
wonderful person to have for professional development
because she has a delightful personality, laces all
presentations with humor, and has years of expertise behind
her.” |

and entertaining presenters whose professional development I
have had the pleasure of attending. She keeps you laughing
and engaged. Her stories and ideas are always top-notch. I
know she's been where I am, and I can always take something
back to the classroom and use it the next day. Her
expectations are realistic, and her teaching methodologies
are valid and useful for today's students and teachers.” |

of learning theory is amazing. She makes learning fun and
really helps teachers understand both how and why their

“Dr. Faber
gave a wonderful professional development to our school.
She gave us information that was up to date, informative,
and useful. We were able to leave the service and put the
information into action right away!” |

|
“Dr. Faber
is an excellent presenter! Her information is up to date,
informative, and extremely doable. I was able to go into
class the next day and put her ideas on vocabulary and
fluency into use with fantastic results.” |
| |
|
“Dr. Faber presents her information with
humor and knowledge. We laughed and learned. Up to date,
practical suggestions were presented to our faculty. This
is an educator who knows what the teachers need in their day
to day teaching. Best Practices at its highest standard!” |
| |
|
"She kept my attention the entire time, made
me laugh, and had great ideas!" |
| |
| “I was thinking about
Sharon as a presenter and I thought of a few things. One,
she presents with humor. I think as having been a classroom
teacher herself, she understands the demands being made on
everyone. While what we do as educators is serious, it is
important that on occasion we also laugh at ourselves and
with the students to remind ourselves that we are human
too. Two, she always brings activities with her that apply
across all grade levels. For instance, the fluency activity
can be modified for all ages. Sometimes her activities and
exercises make me reflect about things I do or need to do
more of in order to increase achievement. Finally, she
always has a positive attitude about education and
teaching. She accurately presents what the current "buzz"
is in education, and she recognizes authors and educators
whom she has met or whose material she has read to share
with us.” |
