"Dr. Woodly was the perfect presenter at the convocation for our first day back to school! He energized the crowd with his motivational presentation and gave relatable personal success stories.
It is rare that all staff members (teachers, clerical, teaching assistants, BOE members, custodians) are motivated by a guest speaker. Everyone left feeling that they could successfully build relationships with our students. More than two weeks later, people are still commenting on Dr. Woodly's dynamic presentation!"
"Dr. Woodly provided a keynote and breakout sessions on the topics of Culturally Responsive Instruction, Discipline in Culturally Diverse Schools, and Targeted Family and Community Engagement. He presented information that was informative, innovative, and interactive. The administrators, teachers and staff all indicated that they received benefit from the presentations, and unanimously requested that Dr. Woodly return!
I would highly recommend Dr. Woodly as a speaker to just about any audience. He is passionate about the subject matter, he makes the presentation personal and interactive, and he leaves you wanting more. He is very well-spoken, professional, and studies his audience to ensure that he is providing what is needed."
