Probably the best part of our jobs at KSS is hearing from our program participants about how their experiences have impacted their lives. Here are a couple of our favorites from this summer’s Key Issues Institute. Thank you all for your kind words. Your energy, enthusiasm, and innovation keep us inspired to constantly challenge ourselves and improve our programs. Hats off to you!
I sent you a thank you before, but let me say it again. 🙂 I have attended other conferences and training sessions, but this was by far the best. It was a wonderful experience of hands-on inquiry learning – science teachers are asked to teach in an inquiry method, but we seldom get the chance to learn in an inquiry method. It was a great mix of interacting with other teaching professionals from around the country, exchanging ideas, learning new science and classroom methods. We were given the chance to be creative, goofy, explore, do science, and take on the role of an investigator. I have plenty of new ideas and lesson plans I can easily tweak a bit, or use directly in my classroom this fall. I learned a TON.
Thank you again, and keep up the good work.

I work in a high-minority and low-income Denver community, and providing a high-quality science education is paramount to providing students with a path out of poverty. I am so excited to bring all I learned back to them this fall. Thanks again!
