Testimonials

“This is my first year teaching in Orange Co. and here at Efland Cheeks Global, when I was told of the AIR program, I was excited, but to see Mr. B in action, to see my (I call them) superstars engaged, asking questions, letting their inhibitions go to truly immerse themselves in the activities Mr. B had was amazing to see!!!!”

“Mr. Matt is a great leader and model for our kiddos. He is prepared for every lesson and I love that he is dedicated to “teaching” while creating art. He supports our mission statement at our school and is always willing to collaborate with our grade level. He makes all the students feel truly seen.”

“I had students who have been nervous to read aloud, just shine in performance arts! Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to see this side of them.”

“One EC student who is usually “checked out” and does not take risks was excited and engaged the entire time. He couldn’t wait for Mr. Jason to come each morning. It was so nice to see this student engaged and smiling. He took risks and even tried playing a few of the instruments.”
