Our Testimonials

What our awesome customers say

Dr. Westerlund's expertise and passion for SFL were evident from the outset. Her webinars were meticulously organized, engaging, and enriched with her deep understanding of the subject matter. She adeptly navigated through the complexities of SFL, making the content accessible and relevant to educators of varying backgrounds and levels of experience.

We have worked with Ruslana for several years, focusing on applying language goals to the content classroom objectives. The resources and strategies she shares are immediately applicable. Teachers walk away from any professional learning with her with a deeper understanding of the relationship between content and language and how to leverage that in the classroom through planning, instruction, and assessment. Ruslana’s highly engaging sessions are highly recommended.

South Dakota Title III Consortium Coordinator

This training gives teachers permission to slow down in teaching writing, but in a way that incorporates language and reading standards--so truly nothing is being missed. As a result of this learning with Dr. Westerlund, I feel as though I have become more confident in teaching writing curriculum. I know where to start, the extent of what I need to teach my students and how I can help them become successful writers.with not having a set curriculum - this has been helpful as I now have something to go off of. My students love it too!

Writing Across Disciplines Course

Working with Ruslana was transformative for my understanding of the 2020 WIDA ELD standards. Her expertise and guidance not only clarified complex concepts but also empowered me to effectively implement them in my own work with teachers in my school district. This training gave me some great lesson ideas that can supplement and fill in gaps where our school’s writing curriculum is lacking.
