What our past participants have to say about their TOOTB Summer Institute experience:
“I am still reeling from my two days spent in the company of such creative minds. I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to share in the experience of attending your workshop. I came away totally energized and ready to “light the flame”. The students of the teachers who attended your workshop are truly lucky children. For me, personally, the timing was perfect. I feel like I spent two days in a spa for the mind, body and soul. “
“Just wanted to let you know again how much I enjoyed the workshop you presented these last two days. There was so much talent in that room and I could feel the energy. It really touched me on many levels and I am looking forward to bringing back so many creative ideas to my classroom. You both are an inspiration!”
“…thank you for the tremendous amount of planning and organization you did to make this an experience that was meaningful and memorable. Your efforts left me wishing the days were longer, and provided me with a notebook full of ideas, activities, projects, and brainpops that I can bring to my students from the first day of school!
