“Dr. Archer is a master teacher who understands both the art and science of teaching. She beautifully models the active engagement she advocates teachers use through both video demonstration in real classrooms and through her own trainings. She has been the single most influential teacher in my work as a trainer of teachers, and I feel fortunate to work with such an inspirational, skilled, and passionate colleague.”
