“This workshop transformed the way I think of teaching children.”
Lindsey Szczesny

“I have been working hard to adapt the Kaleidoscopes method to work for the school I am currently teaching at and my students LOVE it! I have trouble writing a long enough lesson plan because the kids are breezing through concepts and motions that took a full semester to teach before. I can not thank you enough for sharing this method!”
