Track Record

I’m thrilled with this program. My son has grown and matured and been challenged every step of the way. Through Best We Can Be, he has found confidence and self-assurance on assignments that stimulated and excited him and made his brain work hard. I no longer have to remind him about his weekly sessions. When it’s time, he goes online eagerly and happily.
Deborah Hirsch, Parent
Best We Can Be is an exemplary implementation of a personalized learning and development process that exploits the potential of digital tools in education. It amplifies a student’s ability to better own their learning and development.
Phillip Dunn, Director of Digital Learning and Technology, Greenwich Public Schools, Greenwich, CT
An innovative, unique and exciting educational experience. Kids in the program are enthusiastic and engaged! What a unique opportunity to bring the real world of business and careers to high schoolers – my child loved it and learned a lot!
William Berson, Parent of 12th Grader
Best We Can Be is an amazing program. I have learned so much since I found out about it in the beginning of freshman year in high school. The great thing about it is that it doesn’t only focus on one or two subjects. It can be about a variety of things, which makes it more interesting. We could learn anything from human psychology to cryptography. Not only that, but last year, a couple of us along with Dr. Piliouras partook in the American Society for Engineering Education Zone 1 Conference, w…
D.L., 10th Grader
Time management is a problem for many students and is the root cause of many academic problems. Students who wait until the night before an exam to start studying don’t learn or retain information as well as students who plan ahead. This time management program really makes sense to me. At last, high school students have an alternative to quiet desperation. Best We Can Be Time Management series is a great program! I highly recommend it.
Anita Cook, Assistant Professor and Counselor, Westchester Community College, Westchester, NY
Best We Can Be is an outgrowth of a collaboration with our high school. We are always looking for creative ways to give our students innovative, extraordinary learning experiences. This is challenging in a time of tight budgets and a focus on standardized tests. Best We Can Be gives students a competitive advantage and helps motivate them to study subject matter outside their comfort zone. It’s a great program and I recommend it.
Jeanne R. Lauer, Teacher, Administrator for eChalk, Virtual High School, and Certiport Test Center, at Academy of Information Technology & Engineering (AITE) High School, Stamford, CT
Dr. Piliouras excels on two fronts – not only in her technology expertise across industries, but also in her ability to communicate her ideas via words, graphics and new Web products to a wide audience. Whether it’s product development, consulting or business writing, Teresa provides the expert advice and guidance her colleagues and clients need to advance.
Lorraine Sileo, VP Research, PhoCusWright Inc.
I participated in the Best We Can Be program over the Summer, and have been part of the team since then. I very much enjoy learning about the many different topics in the program, particularly the computer-related lessons. We learn about coding, hacking, protection, and other similar lessons. Although these are my personal favorite activities and lessons, we also learn and view presentations on other topics, such as countries like Turkey and India, what is in the food we eat, and so on — and a…
P.H., 8th Grader
I was delighted to learn about the Best We Can Be Program because it fills a critical gap in student education: those often-overlooked skills that can make a difference in whether or not a student succeeds in their chosen path. The programs are concise. They appeal because they inform, but they don’t preach. Anyone who has had a teenage child or teenage student knows how hard it is for them to manage their time — developing that particular skill early on will be invaluable. Wouldn’t mind h…
Dr. Nancy Needham, Executive Director, Global Travel and Tourism Partnership
This is quality work that focuses on success factors implementing an Office Practice Management and Electronic Health Records system.
John Moustakakis, CIO, Westchester Medical Center, Hawthorne, NY
