  • “I attended a Seven Steps PD and it was AMAZING!!!!  On Wednesday I tried brainstorming around the word "run" and then we wrote some sizzling starts for one minute.  The kids loved it and you could have heard a pin drop during the one minute of writing!!!! Thank you for such an amazing tool and the continuing emails!!!”
