Feedback
Andrew was terrific - he went over very well and was enthralling...
Andrew is an outstanding speaker and entertainer.
Andrew was very engaging , entertaining and positive.
Andrew spoke to our parent body and staff members and hit the mark for both groups. He was very engaging and informative, and his relaxed style had us all at ease with him and open to the information he gave.
As a science guy I found his session extremely enlightening for a number of different reasons. He provided clarity in understanding students at our school who zone out, tune out, and for various other reasons do not excel in literacy and numeracy based subjects. He provided very clear research supporting his hypothesis on how teenagers work and what we should and should not be expecting from them. Together with this information, he provided some strategies on how to integrate his ideas in our teaching praxis.
