Suzanne led our team through an insightful, fun and extremely helpful discovery process that helped us better understand each other, ultimately influencing the way we work together. I highly recommend Suzanne as a consultant and/or trainer. She's professional yet doesn't take herself too seriously; she's enthusiastic but pragmatic; she gets everything accomplished she sets out to do, yet she doesn't waste a second of your time. I've known Suzanne for several years as a fellow educator and principal, and she has a plethora of experiences from which to draw on. I'm looking forward to more sessions with this wonderful, experienced, happy, and extremely in-touch professional who is always soaking up new ways to learn and grow.

Suzanne was a keynote speaker for our Annual Meeting. From the first time that we talked and discussed my goals for our meeting, Suzanne and I were on the same page. Having similar ethical beliefs and similar vision for our associates, Suzanne delivered a presentation that is current with today’s concerns with benchmarks which we could achieve. Presentations should make people think and after this one was finished there were discussions about how we can help with change. Suzanne did a great job, her energy is infectious. It makes people want to listen and want to learn from her examples and relative examples.  

Suzanne Bright is a high achieving educator and professional presenter. She has a wide range of skills that can help schools and other organizations evolve and achieve in the areas of ethics,  character, literacy and leadership. She is thought provoking and understands adult learning as well as K-12 education. I have had the privilege of working with her in a high performing school district that expected stretch goals to be met and that truly believed that ....ALL ADULTS AND CHILDREN can ACHIEVE at high levels. Suzanne is the motivator to get things done or make needed observations for groups that are stuck. She is a gem to work with!  

Our experience working with Suzanne has been invaluable as we have worked to totally reconstruct and improve our ELA curriculum and instruction across our elementary schools. Every time our teachers, instructional coaches and administrators meet with Suzanne, she grounds us in best practices, models and supports us in learning, problem solving and finding joy in the instructional experiences we can create as a result of our work. She is an ongoing resource for us as we continue to refine our practices and her hands-on, realistic approach and positive, upbeat personality always leave us excited for the next challenge we take on. Most importantly, we now can honestly say that our elementary students are developing a love of reading and writing to the point where they don’t want ELA time to end!

I've worked with Dr. Suzanne Bright on multiple character education initiatives over the past 15 years and have been thoroughly impressed with her resourcefulness, dedication, and expertise. Suzanne is one of the reasons we have been successful in turning around our school and being recognized as a 2 Time National School of Character. Her enthusiasm and strong desire to bring character education into every school and to make a difference in the life of every child is contagious. I highly recommend working with Dr. Bright.

Dr. Suzanne Bright knows leadership. In the twenty years that I have known her, Dr. Bright has led a highly successful school, fostered numerous initiatives as both implementor and consultant, and she has inspired change within organizations large and small with her warmth, directness, and sincerity. Suzanne inspires leaders by asking the hard questions while helping them find their own answers so they can take their work to the next level. With a tenacious work ethic and a strong desire to make a difference, Dr. Suzanne Bright has been a trusted colleague and a true professional. 

The assistance you gave our elementary  schools when moving to a new curriculum was a huge help in transforming our teachers. You provided us with not just a professional development but a partnership which impacted our instructional practices. You guided our understanding of these practices and helped us to grow students. You never left our side during our transformation and we were encouraged in how we saw our school grow from a Level C to B and finally becoming an A school and district! The fact you kept in contact and continued to offer assistance after we knew the program showed your commitment to us and our students.

Suzanne is one of the most dedicated, passionate and innovative educators my children were graced to have as the leader during their most formative learning years. Her insight and perception into creating a collaborative learning environment is matched only by her incredible character. 

Our district had the amazing opportunity to have Dr. Suzanne Bright work with various teams of teachers and administrators to improve our understanding of best practices in Literacy instruction through lesson studies. Suzanne’s magnetic personality immediately put our teachers at ease with the collaborative process. She expertly modeled lessons and led a reflection process that was steeped in rich discussions about literacy and social emotional learning.  Her passion for nurturing students and teachers to develop a love of reading was contagious.  Suzanne Bright is truly an amazing educator and leader!
