“I am a Junior High School Science
Teacher at Robert Stuart Junior High School in Twin Falls, Idaho. I am
highly certified in both Science and Math. I currently teach 7th grade
Life Science and once in a while am called on to teach Algebra I to 9th
graders as demand is needed. I have been teaching for over 14 years and
still need reminding how to get organized once in a while. Teacher’s
Binder and Math Timesavers have helped me for many years to do just
that! At this time of the year (Christmas Break) I need to work on
reorganizing and getting ready for the push into the New Year. I am
using some of the pages provided by Timesavers to help me reach my
goal. Included are: Things to Do lists, Teacher Purchased & Owned
Supplies, Classroom Supplies lists, Use of Student Agenda lists, and for my
Resource students pages to get them organized with goals and what their
strengths and weaknesses are: This is ME!, I.E.P. Questionnaire, My
Goals for This Week!, Goals for the year, etc. Without the help of having
these ready to reproduce pages I would have to recreate them. Thanks for The
Teacher’s Binder what a fantastic product!” — Jean Newman, Robert
Stuart Junior High School, Twin Falls, ID
“I am already using some of your excellent
pages to help me get organized for the New Year... It is the best! Many Happy
Returns.... With the Parent-Teacher contact logs, I keep a
faithful record of e-mails, mailed letters, and phone calls to parents for
both + and - reasons and provide a copy of that to my principal at the end of
each term. It's actually saved me a few times when a parent comes
storming in demanding to know why their student failed this or was marked
truant or whatever they were on the rampage for...The Teacher’s Binder helps
me keep a detailed paper-trail to cover my butt! :)”

“Thank you so much for sending the update
files. I have purchased 6 of your books and love them
all.” — Bridget Salzman, Willow Creek Elementary School, Tomball,
Texas
“I'm overly anxious because I know your new book is so
great. I already have the Teachers Binder, Math Timesavers, and Just
Multiply It. What a blessing to have someone like you to get it all
together for frenzied teachers like myself!!!!!!! Thank you sooooo
much. I am an aging teacher that wishes people like you would have been
around when I first started teaching back in the dark ages. God bless
you.” — Barbara Will (Special Education teacher, Oklahoma City, Midwest City
School, Traub Elementary, US)
“I would like to
add another comment to your testimonials section. I ordered your
"Teacher's Binder" book about 4 years ago. I just want to let
you know that I have used this book SO MUCH during this time, it is
amazing! It has paid for itself time and time again and it is one of my
most valued resources in my collection! Thank you SO MUCH for offering this
little piece of gold! Your Student Information Sheet, This Is Me
and My Goals pages are the perfect way to break the ice and get to know my
students on an initial level during the first days of school. I could
go on for hours about how great the rest of the pages are, but I will let
your prospective buyers learn that on their own. I have found that no matter
what grade I am teaching The Teachers Binder is an amazingly useful
tool. It keeps my students and I organized and on track regardless of
their age or the subject being taught. I cannot express how thankful I am and
HOW MUCH TIME THAT YOU HAVE SAVED ME because of these wonderful tools.
I honestly think that all teachers colleges across Canada and the US should
offer your books to their aspiring teachers. It will be a useful tool
for them for years to come! — Jennifer Flontek, (grade
7/8 teacher Beaumont, Alberta, Canada)
“Your work is a masterpiece! I can hardly wait to get the

Angeles Unified School District, Sunland, CA, USA)
“Dear Stevan, my
name is Erika Martin and I am an ESL teacher from Mexico, teaching in
Cuernavaca, Mexico. I found you we site browsing sites for teachers and of
course, I fell in love with your Teacher’s Binder. I respect your work and the fact
that you take the time to carefully design something for us teachers who are
also single parents and have no time whatsoever to do all the work you have
so masterfully done! Oh! And of course you can take any part of what I have
written for your comments (testimonials). Your work will make my life so much
easier! Your ideas and designs are fabulous, from
what I could see in the samples...congratulations on your foresight and
creativity! My sister, who lives up north, in the state of Coahuila, is also
an ESL teacher and I told her about your Teacher's Binder and asked her to
check it out, I told her she'd go wild when she saw the samples so I'm just
waiting for her to check it out and order it for me!! Boy, am I happy! She
also said that if she likes it, she'll refer your site to her colleagues and
so will I, since I know a large ESL teacher community here in Cuernavaca.” —- Erika Martin de Lassé, (Cuernavaca,
Mexico)

“I came across a link to your site on one of the
"Sites for Teachers.com" pages. I went to your site and ended up
ordering the Teacher's Binder. I came back to the site later tonight and
ordered two more of your great time savers. When I visited the site tonight,
I was curious about the author of these materials so I read your bio and
looked at your beautiful and amazing works of art. I also read the article
about your induction into the sports hall of fame and "
the Last Supper
in Pencil". I'm sure that you hear things like
this all of the time, if you don't, you should.....I just wanted to tell you,
in case no one has said this lately, you should be extremely proud of your
accomplishments throughout your life. From what I've read, you are a
remarkable person, athlete, artist, and teacher. So......thank you for
creating these terrific materials for teachers. I need all of the
organizational help I can get. ha. And, I think your artwork is
beautiful. I can't believe the things that you have gone through with your
health and still won medals in sporting events! Also, what an awesome
family you have. I'm just very impressed. I happen to think that people in
today's world don't stop or take the time to say thank you to others or
compliment them on a job well done. Everyone is in such a hurry and wrapped
up in their own world. We could all learn from people and educators such as
yourself.”

using my latest purchase, The Substitute Teachers Instructions Kit. I'm not
going to be able to start the school year off in September and your book is
going to help me guide my substitute until I get back. I have used many
similar ideas in the past and always seem to reinvent myself--I won't have to
do that anymore.”

easily open. In this day of rush and fuss, it is rare to find a company who
will take the time to assess problems and assist customers in such a quick
and friendly manner. Thank you for your wonderful product and support!”

on my class next year. The misspelled list of students’ words will come in
very handy. I can also use this list for their spelling words. With my being
a special education teacher for grades K-12 this will be of great benefit for
me and my many different levels of students. Thank you for making life and
class work easier on me.” “P.S. Use this comment if you want as a testimonial. I am
