"Providing Innovative Technical Support"
"Evey has provided workshops and in-service training for the tutors and staff of (my) program several times since 1993. With each of these training sessions, Evey worked with program staff to tailor her materials and presentation to OUR NEEDS (very learner centered!). Tutors have ALWAYS been impressed with Evey's depth of knowledge, her broad range of experience and HER ENTHUSIASM about her subject area! Evey gives 200% when planning and preparing materials and training to ensure the most effective use of staff and volunteer's time. We feel very fortunate to have Evey in the area to have her available for on-going support. I had the opportunity to participate on a focus team that Evey facilitated for the San Diego Council on Literacy....I was most impressed with Evey's skills at researching the issues, organizing and assimilating information and facilitation the group - a group with divergent needs and objectives."
