Quotes from our attending/presenting teachers:

"...this workshop allows teachers to connect to the latest phenomena in teaching."

"There were so many wonderful workshops, I wish I could have attended more [than four] sessions! This workshop has been the BEST I have attended in a long time! I cannot wait to share what I have learned with colleagues!"

"I am so glad I came. It is my first year of attendance, but will not be the last!"

"…I have a few more strategies that I will take back to my students. For this, I thank you. I was very impressed with the enthusiasm of the presenters."

"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience it was for me to present at the Creative Classrooms workshop.  Of all the presentations I have done for teachers, this was by far the most rewarding.  I am not sure if it was because teachers obviously really wanted to be there... but I got so much positive feedback and sincere interest in the strategy."
