Testimonials

What an enlightening workshop! Ian Lillico demonstrated how a whole school approach to educating boys is not only desirable, but very possible. Ian was believable because he spoke from experience, and from the heart. While passionate about the need to improve the learning for boys within our schools, Ian also clearly indicated that girls would also benefit by many of the recommendations and strategies he outlined.
We will certainly be implementing many of Ian's 52 recommendations in our Middle School. They make sense, are practical, and will make learning more relevant and accessable to our students. Thanks for a most enjoyable workshop, one of the best I have been to in many years. I look forward to the second one.
