“I had the opportunity to work with Steven Weiss where he served as my coach/mentor. He, as my mentor, had a tremendous impact on my curriculum, classroom management, and pedagogical understanding. He was great at providing feedback in supportive ways. I always found my lesson to be more effective after collaborating with Mr. Weiss. Also, he helped develop my pedagogical understanding of teaching English Language Learners. Finally, Mr. Weiss was always professional, supportive, and a pleasure to work with.

“As [former] Director of the Stanford University Program in English Language Learner Education...I have had the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of EL practitioners. Steven is truly one of the most knowledgeable and dynamic individuals I have worked with. He assisted in the planning of two of our professional development trainings for principals and presented a session on elements of effective content instruction for elementary English language learners. Steven is adept not only at taking findings from research and tying them to practice, but at explaining and modeling such connections to his audience. He is an engaging and articulate presenter and, due to his extensive background in teacher professional development, knows just what people need in order to stay motivated and engaged. As a collaborator/co-planner, I have found him to be very valuable in focusing discussions and asking just the right questions. Stevens’ commitment to his clients is always evident in the excellent quality of work that he produces. I sincerely hope to work with him again!”
