What People Are Saying
“Karen and Debbie took extra care to understand the incredible challenges that hospitality workers face and the work that we want to do in the world to create change. When combined with teachers’ and tutors’ knack for relationship-building, creative pedagogy, and pure joy, this understanding made us feel truly supported, challenged, and cared for. As a result, our participants can pursue even bigger dreams of racial and economic justice through the union movement. This transformation of confidence and concrete skill building was exactly what we had hoped for from the Compose team and they delivered.”
- Stephanie Greenlea, Assistant to the Treasurer, UNITE HERE
“Karen and Debbie are excellent teachers and facilitators, supporting professional development for educators, tutors, and working people across occupations and disciplines. They know how to teach the process of writing and to inspire confidence in students who may doubt their own abilities to succeed. Whether it be a one-day workshop or a semester-long course, Karen and Debbie develop and deliver hands-on, professional, and skills-based programs that support the learning and growth of students in academic, individual, and work-place environments.”
- Deborah van Dommelen, Director, SF State University Learning Assistance Center, 1991-2018
