Innovative Educational Approach 

Testimonials 

 Dr. Hislop presented a professional development for teach-

ers at the Linden SDA School on preparing students for the

 New York State English Language Arts examinations

Grades 3-8. Dr. Hislop was an excellent presenter. She pre-

 sented her ideas with such clarity and poise that the teach-

ers got a clear understanding on how to prepare students

 for the exams. We would love to have her present on other

topics in future professional development workshops that we

are planning  . G. Joseph/Administrator 

 Dr. Hislop is a dynamic presenter, master teacher and an

expert staff developer.  Among other educational topics, she

is an expert on data-driven approach to teaching litera-

cy.  She has authored articles on this topic and her experi-

ential support in schools has resulted in higher test scores

 for students.  She was instrumental in motivating our edu-

cation administrators to transform the instructional ap-

 proach in the classroom by first studying student test data

 followed by mapping instruction based on that data.  In

classrooms where teachers followed her outline the stu-

dents' spring test scores doubled that of the fall.
