"Finally, people are teaching teachers the way we are supposed to teach our students. They learn best by doing, and so much of what I have learned in the M.A.C.C. workshops has taught me how to teach the doing part to my students using the content I am supposed to teach." -- Miki Kipiai, second-grader
