Over the past year and a half, working with Skip Tyler has been an incredible experience for our staff here at CMS. Skip has partnered closely with our staff to strengthen instructional practices in mathematics, and the impact has been evident in both teacher confidence and student engagement. What truly sets Skip apart is his ability to make professional learning practical, relevant, and immediately applicable. He doesn’t just deliver information - he works alongside teachers, models strategies in real classrooms, and provides actionable feedback that supports real growth. Beyond math, Skip has provided high-quality professional development that has positively influenced instruction across all content areas. The sessions are thoughtfully designed, engaging, and grounded in best practices that truly move the needle for student learning. Skip’s passion for education, commitment to excellence, and genuine investment in schools make him an outstanding partner. We are incredibly grateful for the expertise and support he has provided to our staff and students. And we can’t wait to welcome his partner, Eric Rhoades, here at the end of February to partner with our Science Department! Highly recommend!

Eric and his team provide highly engaging and thoughtful science PD tailored specifically to the needs of our teachers and students. Our teachers leave feeling inspired and prepared to use the strategies that were shared with them when they return to their classrooms, which means they are more likely to put them into practice immediately. Every step of the process in working with Eric and his team is enjoyable, from the initial planning, to the "day-of" logistics. We will continue to use them as a valuable resource in our division professional development.

As a K–12 Instructional Coach, I have had the privilege of seeing Math Workshop come to life in our classrooms through our work with Skip Tyler, and the impact has been incredible. I have watched student engagement increase as learners collaborate with peers, confidently justify their thinking, and take true ownership of their mathematical understanding. Just as inspiring has been the growth in our teachers. Through Skip’s guidance and the intentional structure of Math Workshop, I have seen renewed enthusiasm for math instruction and a powerful shift toward student-centered learning. Teachers are reflecting deeply on their practice, designing purposeful lessons, and meeting students where they are. The energy in our classrooms is different and the difference is meaningful. ~Melissa Poole, Pulaski County Public Schools

I met Skip Tyler from CTLG Consultants at the NCTM conference about three years ago, where he presented an incredibly dynamic session on math workshop. From that moment, I knew he was the missing piece we needed to help our teachers elevate their math instruction. Although our school has always had strong math data, it has never been as impressive as it has been since we started implementing the math workshop model with Skip's support. Beyond his expertise, Skip has an awesome personality that makes everyone feel comfortable and supported yet challenged to grow. He is incredibly responsive to email, text, and phone calls, always making himself available when we need him. His dedication and support have not only benefited our teachers but have also made a significant impact on our students. We've continued our relationship over the past three years, and the results speak for themselves. If you're looking to enhance your teaching practice or improve curriculum effectiveness, I highly recommend reaching out to CTLG Consultants. Skip Tyler and his team have truly made a lasting impact on our school's success.
