Founding director of Arts in Education at Harvard's Graduate School of Education
"For my part, what Consenses is doing with this curriculum gets to the HEART of the MATTER. It's Wonderful how Consenses works across human senses and artistic media. I am overwhelmed. This is so clear and magical."
I am an English teacher, but I have always brought the arts into my classroom and I believe Consenses is what I really want to teach and focus on in my career going forward because it holds so many valuable lessons and experiences for students and adults.
