Our Client Portfolio

R.T. Fisher® has provided outstanding educational services to the San Lorenzo Unified School District. The leader of this organization, Robyn Fisher is a "bright," dynamic, high energy and dedicated educational leader who always has the interests of students at the core of what she does. Robyn and her team are easy to work with as they are flexible and accommodating to our District needs. Students have benefited from R.T. Fisher®'s exemplary instructional and cultural intervention program and we envision an on-going partnership with them. I highly recommend R.T. Fisher® to any school district or organization.

I am pleased to attest to the exemplary service that R. T. Fisher Educational Enterprises® has delivered to the California Education Round Table and they have been integral to two Round Table initiatives. Alliance for Regional Collaboration to Heighten Educational Success (ARCHES) for which R. T. Fisher® has been a grantee whose goal is to improve the performance of African-American students on standardized mathematics examinations through providing culturally relevant professional development for teachers in that discipline, and California Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) for which R. T. Fisher Educational Enterprises® has been the contractor for the Resources and Materials Clearinghouse -- an innovative, multi-media presentation on developing a college-going culture for middle school administrators, counselors, and teachers.

With both these initiatives, R. T. Fisher® has developed quality products on a timely schedule and with a high degree of professionalism. The Round Table recommends R. T. Fisher Educational Enterprises® to any school, school district, higher educational institution, community-based organization, or other entity that is intent on developing quality products, convening substantive and well-organized meetings or conferences, and engaging in standards-based professional development for educators.

Since 1999, California has implemented the GEAR UP Program (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) -- designed to "give more low-income students the skills, encouragement, and preparation needed to pursue postsecondary education". GEAR UP stipulates that schools, higher educational institutions, community organizations, and the private sector must collaborate to ensure that students prepare for college. To help schools reach this goal, GEAR UP provides training, resources and information through various educational organizations and services.

R.T. Fisher Educational Enterprises® has been a primary service provider for our program: most notably in the research, conceptual design, development, implementation and maintenance of the Resources and Materials Clearinghouse. Designed for educators, students and families, the Clearinghouse has helped to develop a school-wide focus on tracking student progress and the importance of family and community engagement. Additionally, the R.T. Fisher® team has developed public relations materials and workshops for strategic GEAR UP projects, and conducted training for educators, program staff and other service providers throughout California.

The team brings expertise in facilitation and product demonstration, and has presented at National and Statewide GEAR UP conferences and events. R.T. Fisher Educational Enterprises® is renowned for excellent quality and we value the consistent and professional service that is a hallmark of the organization.

The College Board Western Regional Office utilized R.T. Fisher Educational Enterprises® to assist in the planning, marketing, and on-site support for the First Annual Dream Deferred Conference: The Future of African American Education in California.

With their assistance and expertise, we were successful in executing a regional conference in less than six weeks that attracted over 250 educators from throughout the western United States.

The R.T. Fisher® team effectively managed the essential details as conference planner. I appreciated their ability to assist in crafting the major conference theme and focus. They provided exceptional on-site coordination and extremely detailed evaluation instruments for the conference.

The College Board has continued to work with R.T. Fisher Educational Enterprises® for our last four Dream Deferred Conferences. I would highly recommend the organization to anyone who is seeking superior, professional educational support and conference management.
