Teacher Comments
Here's a sample of what the teachers
say about our program! These comments are from our instructor
evaluation forms and are in the teacher's own
words.
•This is just
the most outstanding traveling program I've seen in the 27 years that
I've been teaching. The instructors are wonderful! Thanks so
much!
•I can't think of a thing that would make your program better. It is unbelievably great each time you come, but you keep making it better! The children (and teachers) loved the new puppet show and kept talking about what they learned, even though they didn't even realize that that's what they were doing, learning! The instructor was the best, he knew exactly how to motivate our students and keep them on track- that is a gift that most people don't have. Thank you for all you've given to our students past and present, thank you also for the kind and polite manner you have while you're with us. Please come again next year!
•This was possibly the finest program I have ever been able to share with my students. I have some favorite field trips, but I think this Outreach program involved all of the children more fully then others I have participated in.
•Please come back! The instructor's multitalents (art, science, public speaking at the child's level of understanding and enthusiasm) made the presentation. I've seen many class/group presentations during my career and this was by far the best!
•I was the contact person who booked the 14 Outreach programs at our school. From all the rave reviews your presenters and program content have received from the staff here as well as the students reactions, I can say without a doubt that the money spent was well worth it! I can't tell you how many times during the day that the students remarked, "Boy that was a fun lesson!"
•The instructor was wonderful! He never once lost the attention of the children. The touch and feel tanks were a big hit. I can't think of any way to improve this program. Fantastic! I will recommend this program to other schools.
•I have always been pleased with your programs! I feel it is an asset to our school curriculum. We have planned a yearly visit from Cabrillo Outreach into our school budget!
•This was the best program that I have ever seen!! The children loved it! Change nothing!
•This was among the best programs I've ever experienced! The combination of the "in class" presentation and the live "outdoor activity" is a winner! I appreciated the personal attention each class was given. The instructor is to be commended for his excellent ability to communicate with young children and for his effective use of visual aids.
•The total program was just excellent. I learned as many things as the students. I am so excited about everything, I can't wait to teach a sealife unit!
•This was the best assembly for third graders I have ever seen. All the kids were involved and they had fun. The instructor was fabulous!
•What an excellent program! We have nothing but praise and excitement about your program. The children and I were so excited about all we learned, saw and touched. The instructor was so knowledgeable and knew how to keep the interests of all of us!
•The instructor was excellent. He had the entire class focused and listening to every word he said. His presentation was outstanding- even for my limited English speakers. He demonstrated excellent ESL skills- repeating, speaking at a slower speed, using body language and using specimens and materials most effectively.
•We need more programs like this for the students. I wish everyone could have this experience. The presentation motivated the students to go and visit their local library and read books about the groups of fish you talked about.
•This is a great program, so much more efficient and safer than going out on field trips. I think the children learn more when you come to us than when we visit your museum.
•It was the best assembly of the year!! I learned a lot also!
•Your presentation was outstanding and developmentally appropriate to the age of our preschoolers. We absolutely love your van and were pleased at how extremely well organized and prepared your instructors were.
•The information and presentation was perfectly suited for our preschool age children, yet also interesting to parents and teachers also. It lays a wonderful groundwork for the children's curiosity about the marine life of our Pacific Ocean.
•This was one of the best presentations I've ever seen. The instructor kept the students interested and motivated throughout the presentation. I would highly recommend this program to anyone!
•I would love to have you come back. The instructor was excellent, she held the attention of my students, and they retained an amazing amount of information and were fascinated by the entire presentation.
•This was the most wonderful "hands on" demonstration I have ever seen for children. My entire class loved the presentation and learned a great deal from the instructors.
•The program could not have been better. The instructor engaged the students with humor and had their attention at all times. They brought plenty of interesting specimens and materials and the children had ample time to examine everything.
•We thoroughly enjoyed our
presentation! My students were discussing their experiences for the
rest of the day...this will be a once in a lifetime experience for
the majority of them. Thank you again for coming to our school and my
class!
