What others are saying... |
Bill Cecil’s Best Year Ever! was one of the most practical and energizing presentations I have attended as a teacher. Bill’s dynamic ability to relate his experiences with his message captivated my attention. I was able to use much of his TEAMS concept in my classroom immediately. I also began my classes the following semester, encouraging my students to have their Best Year Ever! by focusing on Bill’s three components: Attendance, Attitude, and Effort. Identifying three simple yet essential components of a student’s classroom responsibilities in such a way allowed for two things to happen: my students had three attainable goals on which to focus, and I had three areas to assist my students in improving. This combination helped to foster a positive classroom experience for all involved. As a new principal, I plan to implement these same concepts with my staff members and their classrooms.

What others are saying... |
It was a pleasure to serve as State Superintendent of Schools the year Bill Cecil was chosen to represent the fantastic Michigan teachers as “Teacher of the Year!” Bill has a contagious, “can do attitude” that helps propel students and adults forward to accomplish the task at hand. Perhaps the highest praise I can give to Bill is that I only wish my children could have had him as their teacher! Michigan is blessed to have many great teachers, and Bill is at the top of the class.
