“So often our in-service programs are held in classrooms and information is fed to us. Doc Rock’s staff development day in Great Falls Park was hands-on and entertaining.”
Christine Tirpak, City of Alexandria Teacher, August 2003

Testimonial about Doc Rock’s classroom presentation:
“Dr. Barbara Frank visited our school, Loudoun Country Day School for Read Aloud Day on April 30, 2003. Dr. Frank gave a most engaging presentation for sixth grade students about her book The Pothole Mystery and combined this with dramatic examples of her rock and fossil collection. Students and teachers were all impressed with her delivery and the way in which she interacted with everyone. She took time and showed genuine appreciation with student responses and questions. Dr. Frank was orderly and organized in her delivery of the material she covered. She balanced the presentation with lecture, hands-on activity, and use of the illustrations in her book to amplify her points. She provided just the right amount of rock and fossil samples to maintain interest without being cumbersome. Dr. Frank is intensely interested in her topic, most scholarly but approachable.”
Dr. Eleanor Fall, Librarian, Loudoun Country Day School
