James was amazing and always kept us engaged and focused. He made this experience that I wasn't looking forward to a very positive experience.

James was wonderful. I have been teaching for several years now, and have been to over a dozen PD's and this one was by far the most engaging and helpful I have ever been to. James changed my perspective on PD and I look forward to keeping in contact with him to improve my understanding and practice creating projects for my class!

Fantastic professional training! James was engaging and enthusiastic. One of the few times I have felt excited to leave a PD to go use what I learned in my room.

I could not have had a better instructor! James Fester was positive and humorous, a wonderful balance of engaging and entertaining. He is the best instructor I have ever experienced for professional development. The fact that he was able to win over this workshop roster is no small feat, this school can be a very difficult sell. But he did it! At the end of the workshop, I noticed how much more open the teachers were willing to be, not just with James, but with each other as well as we learned about PBL. Thank you James!
