  • "Dan, Thank YOU for a wonderful presentation, in my opinion, one of the best I’ve seen at Drew in years.  You put so much heart and time into this presentation, the kids responded actively and enthusiastically to your call to pay attention to what was under their direct control.  Thank you again for reaching out to the 9th graders with such experience, poise, and certainty about what they needed to address and when (now)." -Tara Twedt, Director Herbst Learning Center, Drew School, San Francisco, CA
