"STARS is the best tool kit a school director can have at his or her disposal! Its interactive capabilities help keep all school associated focused on the bigger picture. It provides me with broad oversight of all departmental activities, ease of data retrieval, and the ability to query the system for custom reporting. STARS is unsurpassed."
"The Customer Service seminar and the Motivating the Adult Learner seminar were top notch. Our faculty and staff were impressed and felt that they were given new and useful skills that they would be able to implement on a daily basis."
"I used the "Active Learning" CD at our in-service and it was very favorably received. Your company has done a wonderful job of presenting the material in an informative and interesting manner."
"You presented an outstanding in-service program! I hope the directors of our schools have you present in-service sessions in the future."
"The presentation was very informative and gave me some new ideas to try in the classroom."
The PIE program is exceptional! My faculty enjoyed the material presented and were motivated to incorporate the techniques demonstrated. I recommend this program to other school directors with confidence."
"STARS is one of the most user friendly systems I have ever used and the tech support is just out of this world. I dreaded converting to a new system, but Training Masters took the fear out of the change.
They have thought of everything with STARS. It is truly an all in one system. The staff is the top of the line. I don't know how we got along without them.
Thank you, Training Masters, for bringing us out of the dark ages and for all the support you gave us through the whole process and continue to give us!"
"STARS is a comprehensive data base that is very easy to work with. This is the one system that I could rely on to provide me with quality, detailed student information. Required reports were a piece of cake. Not only is STARS accommodating to our type of school/business, but so are the people behind its creation. Whenever I needed assistance or had a special request, all I had to do was make a call. I highly recommend STARS to anyone who wants organization, convenience and support."
"Thank you for the wonderful presentations you have brought to our faculty here at Lincoln Technical Institute, Philadelphia. You are able to capture their attention from the very beginning and keep them involved and participatory throughout the entire presentation. Your professionalism combined with your practical yet focused delivery method keeps my instructors motivated and always looking forward to return visits. I think the real key to success in these sessions is that we have found a fantastic delivery system with Training Masters and Rita Girondi combined with our dedicated faculty who thirst for more ways to connect with their students. As always, the proof is in the implementation of the various ideas and systems in the classrooms and the evaluation of their success. Rita is never shy in asking on each and every follow-up visit for feedback from the instructors. She will religiously ask them if they have tried the new ideas, methods, approaches and technologies from the last session, and revisits, reinforces or revises those concepts for improved success in the future.
Thank you gain for the meaningful contribution you have made toward our faculty's development.
Cheri Horton, high school presenter for Herzing College in Burmingham, uses Training Masters' KlickerZ and The Plastic Piranha program. "Students love the KlickerZ. The presentation is very interactive and it works so well in the classroom setting. Students are definitely learning from the Piranha and they love the music. They are getting pre-approved information in the mail, and they are so excited about having $5000 of credit available. All of the information in the Piranha program is timely," Cheri said. "I like how at the end the system shows what percent each remote got right. Most of the scores are low, between 20-30% right, which means that the high school students aren't very well informed about the use and abuse of credit cards and they need to be. Also, the system is very easy to set up. With needing to be mobile in the high school going from room to room, this is very important."
Tyna Putignano, Director of Admissions at Career Training Academy right outside of Pittsburgh, shares the experience her school has had with KlickerZ. "Our high school admissions program has never had such a positive response as we have with Training Masters' KlickerZ and The Plastic Piranha. We have definitely increased the number of presentations we give because the high school teachers have passed the word along to other teachers. The teachers and counselors have pointed out that they like the interaction. Our presenter is not just standing there talking. Today it's all about appearance. Training Masters' programs are animated with cool characters and music. They really speak "2007" to the students, and we're not just talking about CTA. We have a great program to present that's very important to young people—the dangers and proper use of credit cards. Then we share some great information about CTA. It's a terrific learning experience for everyone. This will definitely be our biggest high school year."
Instructor Dr. Stephen Bono at Heritage Institute in Fort Myers, Florida comments, "I have found the KlickerZ program to be of great value in the classroom setting. Students seem to interact and retain more of the essential material presented after 'Klicking' in. It keeps them more attentive because they know that they will be answering questions after the material is presented. They take more notes, ask more questions, and interact with each other discussing the material. Oh, yes they seem to have fun and truly enjoy the interactive experience."
Clifford Vinson an instructor at Heritage Institute in Fort Myers, Florida, shares his experience. "KlickerZ has proven to be a valuable asset to teaching any of the Anatomy and Physiology systems. KlickerZ allows interaction anonymously or competitively. Some students that are distant in normal classroom activities are now actively involved. Our uses of KlickerZ with PowerPoint¨ presentations have livened up our classroom lectures and definitely compete with the world of technology, where we find ourselves. Terrific adjunct to teaching. Thanks!"
Dennis Riggs is another Heritage Institute, Florida instructor who has had KlickerZ success. "KlickerZ has made such a difference in my classroom. It is so much easier to keep the attention of students who are connected to the fast pace of cell phones, text messaging, and instant access to almost anything via the Internet. They all love the first response program. It meets their competitive nature and keeps the excitement in the classroom."
From a student perspective, Michelle Onstad says, "As a student at Heritage Institute, I have undergone several different study and learning techniques. I think that KlickerZ has been the most fun and effective way of learning and studying. It has proven a great way of completing group competitions without the taunting of another student for a wrong answer, making the experience fun instead of embarrassing. This allows students to learn more and stress less. I also enjoy the PowerPoint presentation feature with KlickerZ. It reiterates the information that we have just gone over and helps "make it stick." It also allows our instructors to see our comprehension of the subject at the end of the presentation. I understand my lectures a great deal more and feel confident when it comes to tests. Thanks!"
