Testimonials

I have the privilege of working with Dr. Marie Steckelberg through a 21st Century Learning Communities STEM Grant. The grant requires travel to all the eligible out of school programs in the state of SD. Managing the logistics is challenging to say the least, but Marie’s meticulous planning and organizational skills make our work efficient and effective. Marie delights in sharing her knowledge of STEM instructional strategies and ensures the professional development gives educators confidence in their new curriculum and classroom management skills. The professional relationships Marie has established throughout the state of South Dakota and the nation allow her to draw on a vast network of expertise to enhance the work she does in schools, out of school programs, and beyond. Marie’s experience, knowledge, and willingness to embrace a challenge have been an inspiration to me and so many others.

Scientists and university faculty do not necessarily speak the language of program evaluation. Working with the South Dakota NASA Space Grant Consortium, Dr. Steckelberg has helped us develop an overall evaluation strategy and, within that framework, to implement specific data collection and survey tools that have had a positive impact on our program management and program outcomes. As a result of Dr. Steckelberg’s guidance, we find ourselves in the forefront among our peer organizations across the U.S. and well-positioned to provide our program managers at NASA with solid evaluative feedback.

Marie has served as our NASA South Dakota Space Grant Consortium professional program evaluator since 2016. By attending our monthly management team meetings and evaluating our many STEM educational programs spanning K through university, she provides solid, practical advice that we can use to improve our program effectiveness. Marie is a pleasure to work with.

Marie has been an invaluable addition to the team at SDPB. She has been able to augment our staff in a variety of ways, not only researching and writing grants but also strategizing program efforts. Marie has also been able to review other proposals and make the writing much more elegant.
