What Our Clients Are Saying

  • "The ITL program was absolutely transformative for me. I'd seen myself as a good teacher but hadn't understood what it meant to be an educator. ITL helped me take that leap and that's made all the difference in my career. I've gained the skills and confidence to develop a communication program for our students that will be rolling out soon. I'm truly grateful."


    Mike Slesnick, Boston University Henry M Goldman School of Dental Medicine

  • Taking the time to improve myself professionally is expected; however, taking the time to improve myself personally is a privilege. I expected to learn useful techniques at CAAMP but it was a privilege to genuinely feel a connection that will certainly have an impact in both my professional and personal life. Great conference and highly recommended!"


    Naquilla Thomas, West Georgia Technical College

  • The magic of AAL is that you are receiving high-level information in a very friendly setting. You are learning so much and the time flies by.


    Dr. Marlene Salas-Provance, New Mexico State University

  • "I was looking for a program that focused on becoming a better 'DENTAL' educator. This program aligned with my goals, and the school graciously supported me. I am so happy that I got the opportunity to attend. It has broadened my perspective, and also made me more aware of what I can do to become a better educator. I am truly grateful and hope to be able to implement some of the things I've learnt."


    Faye Mascarenhas, Louisiana State University School of Dentistry

  • CAAMP was a revolutionary experience for me. I had been looking for an academic leadership development program, and this exceeded all of my expectations. I was able to learn practical information that I could apply immediately in my everyday life, as well as engage in philosophical dialogue about re-defining work-life balance. I can't wait to attend CAMMP II and I will certainly recommend this experience to my colleagues and administrators. Thank you!"


    Julie Manz, Creighton University

  • Another outstanding program from AAL. I have taken all of their courses and I always learn something to implement right away to try something new.


    Prof. Carolynn Zeitz, University of Detroit Mercy
