"Amy Jo, Your knowledge was extensive and your passion infectious. Keep up the good work!"

"You were very respectful of everyone in the classroom. I think that is very important. I loved your icebreaker activities. They helped everyone loosen up and get to know one another. As I walk away from this course, I feel sure that all the information I learned is accurate. It was a pleasure having you as a teacher. "

"The open forum atmosphere was what I liked the most. I liked that we were able to criticize and respond to one another in a safe manner. I enjoyed your class and your approach to all topics discussed. You have opened my eyes to other sides of arguments and of children's lives. I could sense a knowledge and passion you have for certain issues and that shows your students you are not going through the motions."

Her astute clinical insight was welcomed."

You seem to always find ways to make class interesting and fun. You also have helped me expand my basic knowledge and understanding of sexuality and how it is portrayed in society and through the media."

"I enjoy being in the circle having group conversation...It really made me open up because everyone had to contribute to the discussion. One thing that really helped me in this class is that I'm not shy anymore...[Talking] got fun and enjoyable."
-- 19-year-old female student, Bushwick Outreach Alternative High School , Brooklyn, NY
"Her workshops were educational and enjoyable. She provided great information but stated that 'This is not the Amy Jo Show,' and encouraged the students to actively participate so they would get more out of the workshops. The students were engaged and comfortable in the safe and supportive environment she established. My students brought up lots of questions and concerns about issues on campus as a result of Amy Jo's workshops, and some are now looking into starting a group to continue the conversation about violence on our campus. Needless to say, these workshops had a serious effect on the college students."
-- Ann Marie Gardiner, Campus V-Day organizer and Professor
