Deborah’s workshops were the first I had taken about ELL students in a while.
She provided a complete overview from current research to evidence based practices. Deborah’s passion and commitment to this field is evident. Her printed materials were well organized and useful. Deborah interspersed case studies which helped with applying knowledge learned. One of the reasons I wanted to take the workshop was because I had a complicated case involving a student with another language background. I needed to make decisions about assessment, curriculum and recommendations. Deborah’s workshop provided me with the confidence to make these decisions and the knowledge that I needed to be cautious at the same time. I have used her materials frequently and have shared them with other members of my speech department. I would definitely take another one of her workshops -

Thanks so much for the presentation. You are correct, I do believe you eventually answered their questions.

I have received a huge thanks from the pathologists that were able to participate. This was definitely worthwhile!

We may be in touch for future training opportunities.

Thanks again,

Dear Ms. Deborah Chitester,
The 3 day workshop that you gave on The Struggling English Language Learner was extremely informative as well as thought provoking. Our district learned a great deal and plans to follow up on several of your suggestions. One such area included the Identification of Struggling ELLs. Your suggestions for how to conduct Culturally Sensitive and Appropriate Assessments was exactly what we needed in our district. We have created an Ethnographic Interview as a result that includes all the areas you have discussed. As a result, we have been able to better identify these types of students. There is a definite need in this district to become better informed on this topic. Your workshop provided an excellent forum for us to ask questions, problem solve and voice opinions. Looking forward to all other workshops as well as valuable information that you will provide our district.
