Rave Reviews from Past Scholarship Winners!
Wow! As a scholarship winner, I cannot convey the gratitude I feel to Kagan for giving me the opportunity to experience this week of learning, sharing, encouraging, and growing. I am definitely not the same teacher and reading coach that I was when I entered these doors!

I can’t wait to get started! Thank you for the scholarship!! It means so much.
— Cherese Pearson
I was lucky enough to receive a scholarship this year, but I would love for my staff to be able to attend this exceptional conference!
— Denise Hall
This is the fourth Kagan workshop I’ve attended, and it won’t be the last. Everything I’ve learned is beneficial, useful, and able to be practically applied in the classroom.
