Ā "Shana Pyatt-Bucknerā€™s series of presentations to the faculty at Cresthaven Academy Charter School was powerful and transformative. Her message about the impact of language in the classroom resonated deeply with our staff, challenging us to reflect on not only what we say, but how and why we say it. Through engaging examples and thoughtful dialogue, she illuminated how our words can either empower or limit our scholars, shaping their confidence, identity, and academic growth."
