"I think this is an excellent program but I also think that more emphasis on the realities of time and apprehension around creativity would enhance everyone's learning experience. This could be an issue rooted in inequities."

"I expected to half listen to while scrolling social media on my phone. In fact, I do not believe I checked my email or socials at all for the entire 2 hours. If that is not the sign of a good PD I'm not sure what is!"
