“It is my pleasure to recommend Ribas and Associates as a Professional Development provider. Ribas and Associates has been a PD provider in my districts for nearly 20 years. Recently, the professional development has centered around the areas of Effective Supervision and Evaluation, Inclusive Practices, Social-Emotional Learning, Special Education, English Language Learning and Effective Classroom Instruction and Assessment using the concepts from their books. The professional development provided by Ribas and Associates is always of the highest quality. I would recommend Ribas and Associates for high quality professional development without reservations.

“I have worked with Ribas for over fifteen years- first as Principal in the Revere Public School and then as a superintendent in both Winthrop and Stoneham. Over the years they have provided professional development for our staff and administrators in educator evaluation training and coaching, differentiated learning, special education and social emotional learning. I have found their knowledge, attention to detail and their quality of work and the programs to be an excellent addition to the professional development of our educational staff.”

“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.”
