"The use of clear ground rules and boundaries for behaviour management helped kids to feel very safe in the workshop environment."

"It got the students to take risks and try new things."

"The workshop goes along with good educational thinking in terms of PLTSs, group work, reinforcing learning and many other things."

"I loved the elevator pitch activity and I've used it since in my teaching."
