“The energy that the arts brought to my students and I was the main highlight of this training. I will definitely use the strategies I have learned for transitions, settling down and introductions in my future lessons. This is a big help for teachers that helps to maximise lesson time and the students’ learning.” – Maria Patricia Cruz Pabiz

“The Teaching Artist inspired us and gave us the confidence to teach Arts in a more meaningful and fun way.” – Pre-School Teacher

“I realise how incorporating arts in the lesson is very effective as children pay more attention. I learnt how using simple props as a teaching tool can help children stay more engaged.” – Pre-School Teacher
