What others say...

  • "Liz is a proactive innovator and relationship builder around the core agenda of what we call the moral imperative of education, namely a deep commitment to raising the bar and closing the gap of learning for all students. She is a team builder, and someone who has a non-negotiable focus on results. Liz is a team player. She worked seamlessly helping the district focus and get results. She also had great rapport with school principals and their leadership teams. She is committed to the bottom line of student achievement and knows that you have to develop others to accomplish this."
    Michael Fullan, OC Professor Emeritus, OISE, University of Toronto, Canada
  • “I have known Liz McQuade-Jones over the last 10 years to be a driving force behind ALL students’ increased growth and achievement. Liz is a curriculum leader who knows how to support and guide school leaders to realize their vision of knowing every FACE and how to teach each one.”
    Dr Lyn Sharratt
    Ed D. Internship Supervisor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Toronto, Canada | Honorary Fellow, University of Melbourne, Graduate School of Education, Australia | International Consultant and Author
  • "I have worked on a program designed, co-ordinated and led by Liz on professional learning in mathematics and numeracy teaching for two years. Liz articulated a coherent vision for improvement in teaching, identified manageable strategies for achieving that vision, and planned and led the professional learning and associated support for Principals, middle leaders and teachers. Liz has a charismatic presence in sessions for groups of participants. Perhaps most critically, Liz interacts with all educators, whatever the level of their responsibilities with sensitivity and respect. It is a delight to work with and interact with Liz."
