"Marianne's work with our staff over the past four years has proven invaluable for improving both the quality of our instruction and the effectiveness of our systems. She has consistently provided engaging, meaningful training, coaching and resources to classroom teachers and support staff to help us better meet the needs of our young learners.

Karla P. Curriculum Coordinator, NH
"Marianne Nice has personally helped me grow as a reading teacher. She is approachable, knowledgeable, and resourceful. One of the things that I have loved most about working with Marianne is her commitment to helping us immediately. She understands what it is like to be in the classroom and provides you with materials that can be put to use right away. Her knowledge of the science of reading and many different reading programs was extremely useful. Many times we would use her as a sounding board to bounce questions off of; both in terms of students and curriculum. She has helped our school stay up to date on best practices and coached us to be better teachers ourselves."
