Teacher - New York:
This is my 33rd year in teaching. I've attended so many presentations I can't count. I can say with a complete absence of hyperbole that this was the most worthwhile, meaningful, insightful thing I’ve ever attended.
And I love you too!
Superintendent - New York:
I've been in education for forty years. This is the first time I've ever seen teachers give a standing ovation!
Principal - Indiana:
Heartfelt, practical, real and we will be implementing E-SAT. This is the first/best practical safety training I’ve been to since I became a principal 23 years ago.
Criminal Justice Professor, Alabama:
“I have never had a presenter who was so knowledgeable on the topic. I learned more from this 2 day course than my 16 years in my law enforcement and teacher career.”
Teacher, Connecticut:
“I see so many coworkers and teachers losing their minds and being negative to their students. This presentation was so promising and encouraging.”
Teacher, New York:
“Last year was awful! I was going to retire after this in-service but I've decided to stay. You reminded me why I'm here. Thank you!”
SRO, New Hampshire:
“Don’s style of safety and violence prevention is incredible. It has renewed my desire to be in schools working with students.”
SRO, Florida:
“I thought this was a great course and it kept my attention. Sucks it's over. I had fun.”
Police Officer, New York:
“I was going to retire but you inspired me to keep going!”
Teacher, New York:
“Thank you for refreshing my mindset. After 35+ years teaching I was reminded how grateful I am for the students. I have the privilege of teaching!”
Teacher, New York:
“Without a single bit of exaggeration, that was THE BEST opening day in-service presentation of my 34 years of teaching! Thank you for bringing Don Shomette in to set the tone and focus for the year!”
Administrator, Indiana:
We spend time in school safety focused on the steps, the checklist, the to-dos, but we don’t talk enough about the how. This session (E-SAT) teaches you the how to prevent, build relationships and quickly assess a threat; but most importantly, keeps the focus on how to love these students.
Teacher, New York:
“Hearing that there is always something I can do for the children is refreshing no matter how “small” we may feel what we’re doing is, it makes a huge difference in the environment and in the children’s lives.”
Deputy Sheriff, Alabama:
“In 34 years of law enforcement, I count this as one of the top five trainings I've ever attended!”
Teacher, New York:
“Makes me want to do better and my best for not only my kids at school, but also for my own kids at home. Thank you!”
Deputy Sheriff, Alabama:
“I've been in law enforcement for thirty years and this training was one of the best I've ever attended. It was innovative and forward thinking. This is something we should be doing more of in law enforcement.”
SRO, Virginia:
“Excellent course! Ton of information like trying to take a drink of water from a fire hydrant. Great stuff!!”
Teacher, New York:
“I think in today’s age most people work for a paycheck without love for what they do or who they do it for. Thank you for reminding me that I can love the students and their families.”
Police Officer, Florida:
“I texted my training sgt during the class and thanked him for sending me.”
Police Officer, Virginia:
“I've been a cop for 21 years and we constantly tell cops how to be more proficient but never how to be better people and nothing about helping families. This is exaclty what we need.”
