Over 200 educators in Colorado have attended Lynda Idle’s CDE Approved CLDE 45-Hr PD program. Her interactive program has been met with great reviews. See some current testimonials below:

“1,000% worth your time! Anyone who does not take this PD is totally missing out on a lot of really good stuff. This PD is filled with strategies and resources that can be taken back to your classroom and put into practice immediately no matter the grade level or content area. I've already started my year with some of the strategies I learned through RISE PD. It's targeted to ELs, but can and should be used with all our students. I'd recommend this professional development to everyone! I'd even sign up for a follow-up course just to get even better. I promise you...this will not be a waste of your time” - 27J School District
“I liked how hands on and interactive all the sessions were. You literally lived what you were learning! I have already recommended this training for all the elementary teachers on my campus. This training stands out because of the amount of resources and practice of strategies that you come away with after each session” - Atlas Prep Charter School
“RISE PD was the most relevant, engaging, and purposeful professional development I have done in years. I was provided strategies, resources, and learning that I can implement immediately with students and staff. I not only deepened my practices and understanding for CLD students, but for SPED and general Ed. Each day I looked forward to expanding my knowledge base and collaborating with my peers. 10/10 would recommend!” - 27J School District
“I loved the engaging and collaborative nature of the assignments and working with teachers across a spectrum of grade levels and content areas. They modelled how to use the resources given in our own classroom by employing the same strategies with us. I would absolutely recommend this training to my colleagues and administrators! This training was much more engaging than others I've taken. I wish more of our professional development was like this!” - Cheyanne Mountain D12
