Reviews of Kim Bearden

"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

"All verbal feedback has been extremely positive. I wanted to wait until evaluation data was compiled to give you a final evaluation; however, to put it bluntly,? I think we more than got our money?s worth?. She was very well received by our teacher audience. Thank you for helping us to get her as a speaker. She was perfect for us!"

Linda S. Gibson Claiborne County Schools

"Kim Stewart did an outstanding job for us. Several of our HS teachers remarked that this is the best teacher they have ever heard speak. She did a great job keeping the teachers actively involved. She taught us many things ---- about how to make learning fun and motivating for students. Also, her message about how teachers should ?think? (Top Ten Things) was outstanding."

Joni Burgin, Superintendent Grantsburg School District

I want to thank you again for your presentation "How to have a Creative Classroom and Still Score High on Standardized Tests". The information you presented was informative, resourceful and applicable to the instructional needs of our students.
