David Streight
Executive Director
Council for Spiritual and Ethical Education
"I have served as a reviewer of lesson plans Michele artfully developed for the PBS program, Religion & Ethics Newsweekly. Michele is energetic, intelligent, sensitive, and extremely easy to work with."
Kenneth J. Paulsen
Content Manager
NEWSWEEK Education Program
"I have had the pleasure of working with Michele Israel on several NEWSWEEK Education Program classroom resources. Two of her efforts in particular stand out. In Emerging Economies, Michele developed well-organized lesson plans on topics such as U.S. and foreign economic assistance; economic development trends; and case studies of developing economies. In Preparing for the Real World: Work and Ready-to-Use Economics, Michele (with a co-author) produced practical material useful for students about to enter the workplace. Both 32-page units were distributed at national educators' conferences and to teachers who subscribe to NEWSWEEK for their students. Michele's material has been thorough, professional and - of great importance - on time. She is conscientious and easy to work with."
Priscilla Prutzman
Executive Director
Creative Response to Conflict
"Michele is an enthusiastic curriculum and proposal writer for our conflict resolution organization, Creative Response To Conflict. She has helped us with several proposals and advised us on multi-aged curricula. Michele is extremely reliable and always does what she says she will. I highly recommend her!."
Cari Ladd
Freelance Education Editor
NOW
"Michele produced both lesson plans and classroom activity ideas for feature stories addressed by NOW with Bill Moyers (NOW is currently hosted by David Brancaccio). With each assignment, she researched and organized helpful resources and teaching strategies so that it would be easy for educators to connect their curricula to current events. The materials she developed also encouraged students to be proactive about their role in democracy."
Sharen I. Duke
Executive Director/CEO
AIDS Service Center NYC
"It has been a true joy to work with Michele for more than a decade. In that time, she has helped AIDS Service Center NYC to translate complex information about HIV/AIDS into polished prose that captures the special nature of the agency's - and its partners' - work. Michele is a capable writer, researcher, curriculum developer and overall a multitalented consultant whose versatility, intellect and consistently high-quality work would be an asset to any organization."
Frank Batavick
Chief Content Officer
Films Media Group
"Films Media Group has used Michele for quite some time as a free-lance instructional designer during the instructional video production process. Though she has worked for some high profile clients, she has always been attentive to our needs and given us good value. Her recommendations to guide producers are solid and the instructor guides she has authored have more than met expectations."
Anne Cherney
Owner & Partner
The Baird Group
"Michele is the consummate writer. Her research is exhaustive and her writing is stellar -- clear, concise and easy to understand, no matter what the topic. I would work with Michele again, in a heartbeat."
Necole Brown
Program Director
Healthy Families Brooklyn
"Words cannot express what a wonderful experience it was to work with
Michele!! She was clear, concise and very supportive. The tobacco
control curriculum for adults she helped write and edit was first rate,
but the education I was given about teaching adults was absolutely
TREMENDOUS. I could not have been successful without her writing and
coaching. Thank you."
