Teachers have welcomed the chance to learn new skills from professionally trained arts instructors and provide glowing references for the artsREACH experience. Here is what a few of teachers have said about the artsREACH project:
“One of the most successful aspects of the workshop was total engagement of the students. Some of the children who are usually quite reserved, were really sparkling with this activity.”
J. Konkle, Teacher, James Bay (Grade 1)
“Students were given a sense of ability and confidence and were empowered with success - no matter what the final results were! The clear instruction and demonstration were delivered with enthusiasm and I loved how the workshop was accessible, complete and well-stocked!”
T. Hunter, Teacher, Sundance (Grades 2/3/4)
“My students loved having the opportunity to learn from an artist!”
V. Jubb, Teacher, South Park (Grades 3/4)
“My class really enjoyed the drama activities. The workshop gave them the opportunity to interact with each other and express themselves.”
C. Sheldan, Teacher, James Bay (Grade 3)
“Students invited their parents to walk around the school and look at the pictures and we got great feedback from families.”
R. Schactman, Teacher, James Bay (Kindergarten)
