“Ribas Associates has worked with our district for eleven years. They have assisted us with all aspects of developing and implementing an effective educator evaluation system and with other teacher professional development. This has included training and coaching our entire teaching and administrative staff. A particular strength of their work is their willingness and ability to customize their programs to match district initiatives and state requirements. Their books, programs, and staff are of the highest quality.”

“I have worked with Ribas Associates for many years as a principal, assistant superintendent, and now superintendent. Through Ribas Associates I have been able to customize professional development for my Leadership Team by targeting specific supervision and evaluation issues along with prioritizing the social and emotional competence of the staff they supervise. Before developing a professional development and consultancy plan for my Leadership Team, Ribas Associates spent a great deal of time listening to what our concerns and barriers were in addition to helping us develop long term goals and a criteria for success. This ability to go beyond the “one size fits all” approach has allowed Ribas Associates to have a positive impact on my district for years to come.”
