Mrs. Lawson's professionalism and compassion for teaching and learning have made her performance at every school with every project exceptional. Her work always yields results beyond reproach."
Dr. Princess Parker, Educational Consultant
“ It is professional duty and obligation to willfully attest to professionalism the Owls company brings. The consultant was a consummate professional. Her knowledge and expertise, modeled via her craft, enables her to display altruistic feats on a daily basis. She is a team player who vehemently puts others' needs above her own. Her approach to Educational Reform is fresh, innovative, and exciting. She envisions and embodies change with a sense of urgency. She is approachable and friendly. She handles crisis management with fidelity, and is a visionary thinker. Students yet reminisce about lessons that she taught to them; heretofore, those lessons are still being inculcated today. Therefore, it has been my honor to attest to professional, moral, ethical, and professional integrity of Owls LLC. ”
Michael J. Gee, Leader and Educator
“ Kenda is smart conscientious, focused and intentional. Her students benefit from her hard work and rise to her expectations daily. While I do not have children I can say without reservation that if I did have children I would want Kenda to teach them, in fact I would go out of my way to ensure they were instructed by her. I believe in her skills as an educator, and anyone who is lucky enough to observe her teach will agree. She is amazing!”
Kristy Khoury, Speaker and Trainer
“When I hear the title “educational consultant”, I usually imagine a person observing me as I teach and then leaving unconnected or captious feedback; however, the Owls defy this notion. As a newcomer to the teaching profession, the consultant provided me with meaningful and effective coaching. She was hands-on with my students from the beginning and worked with me to craft purposeful ELA lessons and behavioral frameworks. Thanks to her, I have even developed a teaching persona that is authentic to my students and me. She is a “must have” for new teachers.”
