 SUMMARY OF COMMENTS "This was by far the best workshop that I have attended as a teacher. I am leaving this week with new friends, activities for the classroom…and a new awareness of how minerals make up my environment." "What a wonderful eye opening experience! I have learned so much about mining and its importance to our daily lives. The materials will be very useful in the classroom." "This was the best and most informative workshop in my 24 years of teaching. I have had attended 1 or 2 hour sessions that compare, but as a whole thing nothing even comes close." "What an organized and educational experience! I know I'll never attend another workshop as great as this one. We'll spread the word about mining." "I learned so much from all of you. I have a new outlook on quarries and mines now. Everything was excellent." "I can't tell you enough how much I have enjoyed this week. I know it will be as exciting for the students as it has been for me. The materials are wonderful. We plan on using them in a Parent Involvement Science Night. The activities and field trips were exceptional. It has been the most worthwhile workshop I've ever attended." "What a great workshop! Thank you…for making all the material available to us for the upcoming school year. I will be singing your praises around St. Louis so be prepared!" "I feel better prepared to give the whole picture to my students regarding mining. The conference was a wonderful experience. Thanks for all the hard work each of you put into the planning and presenting. Thanks for all the great classroom materials." "It greatly exceeded my expectations. All the presenters were excellent. It actually was the best workshop I have ever attended." "This is hands down the best workshop I have ever attended! I appreciate being educated about the very important topics so that I can pass that learning on to my students. The speakers were great, field trips outstanding, and both group and breakout sessions were extremely relevant and interesting. Above all, the staff was genuinely friendly, professional, helpful and appreciative of our efforts as educators." "This was the best, most beneficial workshop I have ever attended. I will be recommending it to other teachers." "What a fantastic workshop! I have a wealth of information to take back to my students. Thank you to all the sponsors who made the workshop a success." "This was the most valuable workshop I have ever attended in 31 years of teaching. I feel more connected to my environment than ever. I felt such positive attitudes from all the staff, presenters and participants. I can't wait to share this with my first graders." "The workshop was beyond my expectations.
After teaching 30 years and attending numerous workshops this was
one of the best!"
