"...this instructional tool, I know positively affects student achievement."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity to visit your academy and work in a learning environment that reflects the genius of its creator and a love for and a commitment to young people everywhere. As I continue to process all that I saw, heard and learned over the last few days and plan ways to incorporate more of your methods and foldablesTM into what I do, I will also be thinking of ways to "spread the word" about this instructional tool that I know positively affects student achievement."

"I've never enjoyed a course of study as much as the Academy"

I just returned from the Dinah Zike Academy, and I'm overwhelmed with the vast amount of information provided. This is my 37th year in education, and I've never enjoyed a course of study as much as the Academy. Each day was exciting and innovative. Dinah has put together a complete package for educators at all levels. Dinah Zike is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend this academy, and I plan to return to return to Level II."
