Testimonials

As a colleague of Dr. Steckelberg working in the Rising Star Educator Program (RSEP) and as a professional mentee of hers myself, I have witnessed Dr. Steckelberg in action making a difference in education. Her workshops’ audiences range in ability/experiences yet she differentiates her presentations to meet the needs of those in attendance. Dr. Steckelberg models her commitment to excellence through a hands-on approach for presenting STEM content and lessons for both pre-service and veteran educators. She is an inspiration and encourager for our RSEP team as we journey together to meet the mission of our Rising Star Educator Program.

Mrs. Tammy Jo SchlechterMath Specialist

I hired Marie to run our statewide program because I knew her to be someone who gets projects done with a mind for timeliness and quality. She has proven this true. As I expected her skills have added greatly to the success of our project. I'll continue to work with her on this and future projects and highly recommend her to others.

Kristie Maher, Executive DirectorSD Discovery Center

Dr. Steckelberg's work has always reflected a standard of quality and her determination to produce that quality has been an inspiration.
