Cyndy Speaking to Teens

Audience Feedback

NCTE Convention

“I went to Cyndy Etler’s session at the NCTE Convention to hear Ellen Hopkins speak. I left as Cyndy’s number one fan. Not only is she a talented author, but she connects with classroom teachers because she is one. She discusses how to get students engaged from her adolescent experiences, as well as what works for her in her daily practice. It is a combination that makes for a riveting presentation, and you don’t want to miss it.”

Cyndy Etler was, by far, the best

“The depth of Cyndy Etler’s honesty forged a human connection with the teens that can’t be planned. Her presentation came from the heart, not from well-rehearsed note cards. In my 35 years as a business teacher, I’ve brought in countless speakers. Cyndy Etler was, by far, the best.”–Lynn Costello, FBLA Advisor, Masuk High School, Connecticut

Harrowing Journey

"Etler tells a story of the harrowing journey of a young girl who defied the odds. Her presentation is gritty, with just enough humor. It leaves audiences with the knowledge that they can't give up, because it will get better. Should the opportunity arise to hear Etler speak, take it." –MJ Rogers, UMass Boston Alumna
