"Martha and Sharon devoted an incredible amount of time and effort to help us clarify and achieve our curriculum goals. They showed deep commitment to a quality outcome, kept us moving forward and on task, and were able to listen to and respect the needs of our diverse audiences. It is clear that they care deeply about the work they do, and our students are the lucky recipients. We hope to work with them again soon on other efforts." "Sharon and Martha are both extremely knowledgeable presenters and a pleasure to work with. I've worked with them for several years delivering numerous online instructional presentations, and they always strive to make a strong connection with their audience and deliver exceptional educational content." "I have always been impressed with the scholarship of Martha Casazza and Sharon Silverman. Their work is consistently well-researched, thoughtful, informative, and practical. When it comes to learning assistance and developmental education I would consider them to be among the most knowledgeable professionals in the field." "I have read Dr. Silverman's and Dr Casazza's publications. I, like others, see them as testaments of their understanding of pedagogy, of the psychology of the learner, and of the complexity of various institutions of higher education, all of whom want their students to succeed. Together these professionals are capable of making very real contributions to help faculty and staff develop solutions for their settings. Their work ethic and sense of humor are as helpful as their grasp of reality and pedagogy. They are able to be rigorous and forthright without offending or threatening faculty or staff. Those are rare and much needed skill sets." "It has been an honor to work with Martha Casazza and Sharon Silverman. I had the privilege of meeting them for the first time in 1999, in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, when they were selected as Fulbright Senior Scholars and invited to the University of Port Elizabeth (UPE, 1999). "Satisfying and easy to read because the authors smoothly integrate current research into principles derived from theory and practice, this book (Learning Assistance and Developmental Education) joins the list of 'must owns' of the learning assistance professional." I recommend Dr. Sharon Silverman and Dr. Martha Casazza as experts in learning assistance and developmental education within the overall field of adult learning. |
