What They are Saying About Learning Forte

An Outstanding Leader

Stacy Williams-Duncan was an outstanding leader for two different Wabash Center programs centered on building theological school faculty capacities for online teaching. These workshops were conducted in 2016-17 and 2018-19. In her capacity as a leader for the two workshops, she was adept at designing learning experiences that directly addressed specific online pedagogy issues. Faculty involved with our two workshop programs on online teaching found her work to be helpful as it both addressed their specific teaching questions and learning design issues.

No-Nonsense and a Joy to Work With

Stacy comes to the task of supporting educators equipped with years of experience in teaching, learning theory and technology. I found her to be a direct and no-nonsense coach whose love for teaching and learning is evident. She walked alongside me as I transitioned into teaching online without making me feel stupid for what I didn't know. Her ability to translate technical language into laywoman's terms facilitated the learning process. She is a joy to work with.
