Dr. Riffel’s expertise and qualifications are evident in each video.  The videos are research-based, and she presents the material clearly and effectively.  Dr. Riffel discusses real-life scenarios that help to understand and apply each concept or content area in a user-friendly way. 

 

In my 14 years as a principal, I had the opportunity to attend several of Dr. Riffel’s in-person workshops with multiple staff members. Each training session was fabulous. We returned to school after every training with highly effective interventions, increased knowledge, and a deeper understanding of how to effectively help students become successful.  

 

The bonus of Dr. Riffel’s training in video format is the multiple ways they can be utilized to meet the various needs of each staff member.  They can be used on numerous days, single-day, two-hour early dismissals, or one-hour faculty meetings for professional development.  They can also be utilized in professional development plans for individual staff members.  Regardless of how you use the videos for professional development, they can all be completed self-paced, ensuring that each staff member understands the concepts to implement in their classroom or the strategies used school-wide.   

 

I have utilized Dr. Riffel’s content in every school I have worked at, and now I will use this format to train staff members in all aspects of student behavior and how to implement interventions, strategies, and structures to help all students be successful.
