About Us

Our professional learning features approaches to instruction that improve student performance and foster the acquisition of literacy skills. Made Manifest’s success has been based on our ability to understand and meet the specific needs of teachers and to customize our staff development to meet their goals and objectives.

Together as a group we learn new technology in a hands-on, relaxed environment and focus on ways to integrate across the curriculum, specifically gathering and applying resources related to the core curriculum standards.

 

 

Mentoring + Coaching

Made Manifest LLC has extensive experience working alongside teachers and the students in classrooms across the tri-state area. 

After several mini-lessons on focused technology, teachers will work on a related project plan during the workshops and we will then mentor them in the classroom and online to implement the plan. This model has proven extremely effective in giving teachers the confidence they need to "move to the next level of learning."

  • In a few sessions with Dana Unger I have expanded my knowledge of technology more so than in 4 years of college. Dana's webinars keep you enticed and involved and all the while you are learning techniques that make your life easier. I have incorporated several aspects of what I learned from Dana in my classes and each one has been a hit with students. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to level 2!
    — Robert Patch, Teacher, Our Lady of Lourdes School, West Islip, NY
  • I loved the Level 1 Cohort Certification Group that you ran this summer. It was very flexible in terms of times. I loved how interactive the videos were. I felt that I learned a great deal from the program. I'm looking forward to Level 2.
    — Stefanie Kerkenides, Teacher, St. Dominic Elementary School, Oyster Bay, NY
  • Working with Dana made me confident to start the school year with our new 1:1 program. Dana's instruction is easy to follow and she is always willing to answer any questions that come up along the way, even it's for something very simple. She gives an opportunity to practice the skills that we learned through small tasks that are integrated into the instruction. I learn by doing, and that's just what I did over the summer. I'm exciting to implement the G-Suite and Chromebooks because with my help, I'm honing the technology skills of tomorrow's college students, workers in various fields, and leaders.
    — Erica Andrinopoulos, St. Dominic's High School. Oyster Bay, NY
