Reviews

"Kim Stewart is clearly the best speaker I have ever heard at any conference I have attended. Her speech was clever, witty, humorous and exactly what all of the teachers in attendance needed to hear. Her message about the importance of creativity in the classroom and how to make a difference in the lives of all children was both moving and informative. It makes me feel good to know that the education profession would choose Kim as a representative of all teachers. She is a professional who understands the ins and outs of being a teacher, and her message is one that should be heard by all."

Ron Clark 2001 Disney American Teacher of the Year

"If we are lucky, each of us, during our educational endeavors, hopes to encounter that one teacher who helps us make sense of it all. A teacher with whom we can truly connect and enjoy the educational experience just for learning's sake. And if we are really lucky, this same educator may touch the soul of her students in a way that encourages her students to become a better human being. Kim Stewart is this teacher."

Stephanie Hill Parent of One of Kim's Students

"Kim Stewart was just what we needed for those ?winter doldrums? we all go through in February. She involved the audience, made us laugh and think, and left teachers with creative ideas they could use immediately. One of our principals overheard some teachers talking as they left the auditorium about specific ways they could apply Kim?s ideas in their own classrooms."

Marsha Turner-Shear, Ed.D. Assistant Superintendent, Spencer-Owen Community Schools
