It was a really great experience to have you on our 2-year journey. Your class, advice, and help are making our learnings more constructive, more insightful, and deeper. Thank you. My project on mycelium is specially built on many thoughts learned from you. This project encouraged me to rethink the relationship between humans and nature. From consumption to symbiosis.

Last summer (2020) I attended your workshop at OMEGA on sustainability. (I am the music teacher who kept on getting booted from Zoom!) So we had a private meeting about a month later to discuss what I missed. I wanted to let you know, the lessons I learned from you both in the workshop and in our private discussion has led to tremendous changes in the way I approach the way I teach musicianship to my private students. Thank you! It has been wonderful being able to help my students feel like they are making a larger difference especially in this age of virtual learning.

EfS Standards have changed Essential Questions at SEEQS in so many wonderful, meaningful ways. This has been a missing piece for us for the last 7 years and now Essential Questions - the course that gives SEEQS its name, is starting to coalesce into the thing it always had potential to be. Thank you! For your work with SEEQS, but also for driving this work for decades. I’m so grateful to have you as an ally, supporter, and friend.

- Buffy Cushman-Patz, Executive Director at SEEQS: the School for Examining Essential Questions of Sustainability



The difference in the engagement level of my students is noticeable now that I have designed my electricity curriculum with the help of Jaimie Cloud. My students are learning more, and even better, want to learn more. It's been a valuable use of my time. Thank you DOE CTE and Cloud Institute!

Thank you for all your help interpreting and untangling our thoughts and ideas, for constantly navigating us back into less tumultuous waters than where we would tend to drift.

- Sue Foote, Chelsea HS CTE



I am amazed at how teachers should educate for sustainability, not educate for unsustainability… Sustainability is not primarily a movement against unsustainability but building the capacity to thrive over time.

- Student, Institute of Higher Learning



We want these curricula to live forever and get better and better over time. The region has committed significant resources for the development of the middle school curriculum -- it is well worth it. It is the most important work we can do. ~ Marla Gardner, Director of Curriculum Center, Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES

I thoroughly enjoyed the week's instruction and found it one of the two most meaningful/ transformative "inservice" sessions in my 30+ year career in education. I'm anxious to learn more.

I LOVE THE TRAININGS!!!! I feel I've gotten more out of this thus far, from a critical thinking perspective, than I did in obtaining the 27 graduate credits involved in my Administrative Licensing and Certification Program.

— Steve Ritz, High School Teacher

I can't stop thinking about what we learned and the need for change.

—Jeff Cowen, Community Liaison, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency

Thank you, again, for the incredible workshop you provided. I’ve looked at a lot of sustainability education models, formats, approaches, etc. and your stuff is way above anything I have seen. It’s what I’ve been looking for and thinking about for the past 6 years. In addition, your facilitation skills are incredible. I feel fortunate to have participated and look forward to promoting your program and materials.

I've been talking about The Cloud Institute to a lot of people--my husband, my parents, friends and colleagues. The notion that sustainability is a mindset that sets into motion right action, is mind- boggling. It's like a Zen parable or something--it's quite simple yet profound. For some reason, I was looking outside of this type of distillation--mindset.

— Lisa Silverman, Highwater

You gave us a lot to think about today. and I love it!!! I just wanted to send you a blessing and thank you for the valuable work you are doing for our planet, for us, for our children and for generations to come!!! Thank you!!!
