Andy is by far the best facilitator I have ever worked with. His trainings are full of useful, current, vital information and he always helps us with real scenarios that we face in the classroom and how to navigate them. I have learned so much from his trainings. He has a clarity to how he presents all the material that is rare and his time management is beyond compare. I cannot say enough about Andy’s work.
