“John brought a great deal of energy and a fun sense of humor to his workshop that created a fun learning atmosphere for our faculty in a stressful time. I highly recommend John’s workshop and hope he can come back to CFS in the future!”

Eric Fulmer, Dean of Faculty

“Dr. Spencer inspired my teachers to get back to creating classrooms full of “creativity and wonder”.

Lauren Crabtree, Principal

Douglas County Schools, Douglasville, GA
