Scaffolding Academic Literacy Institute
Tonya’s training, demonstration lessons, and coaching have had a tremendous impact on our staff. In recent monitoring and accountability visits, district observers were impressed by the high levels of student engagement in our classrooms.
Principal, Lodi Unified School District
Tonya’s enthusiasm, expertise and outstanding communication skills make her one of the most outstanding presenters we have ever had! Her practical hands-on approach keeps the teachers engaged and wanting more.
Curriculum Director, Wright School District
Don’t water down expectations. Raise them—boldly.
Creating equal opportunity is about more than raising test scores of subgroups. It calls for us to engage ELs, students of color, and students in poverty in rigorous, relevant learning to excel as leaders and innovators in a global world.
Tonya has made an academic impact. All teachers have embraced her strategies which are evident in daily teaching and give all students access to the curriculum. San Miguel Elementary is very thankful that Tonya has provided tremendous support in our goal to improve student achievement for all students.
Superintendent, Mark West Union School District
Our work with Tonya has given teachers the tools, the outlook and the attitude to build a quality writing program. She has set us on the right track to preparing our students to be thoughtful, comprehensive writers. Our teachers now have a clearer understanding of what a powerful, rigorous writing program looks like and how to get us there.
Principal, Healdsburg Jr. High

I have already seen excellent results using the teaching techniques from Tonya Ward Singer. Her engaging approach to teaching has becomes the standard for all classes here at Corona School. We thank her for helping us help our students!
4th Grade Teacher, Ontario-Montclair School District
I was actively engaged during the whole session. Tonya modeled, allowed me to practice, and gave feedback. If all classes could be this way, teachers would be better equipped to do what they are expected to do.
