Did you meet us at a conference?

Instructional Intensity, Inc. is a highly effective team of educators who provide intentional support to school districts. The teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators of Uinta County #1 hold the work of Tami Bebee-Schwartz in extremely high regard! She has presented at our district wide professional development days many times, and the feedback about her sessions is always glowing. Typically we can plan on "standing room only" in any session Tami presents.

We are most excited to continue our work with her next year as we roll out the implementation of our new reading adoption. I can't give higher praise for any instructional consultant than for Tami Bebee-Schwartz.
