The teacher is the designer of the learning process a choreographer of discovery. - William Coperthwaite

The finest design for society will not be one worked up by specialists but a design created by the people themselves to fit their needs.

Initially what is important is to be able to successfully make a useful object over which the maker can exclaim, with pleasure and amazement, 'I made this myself!

When as a society we fail to help all people have confidence in their ability to create, we are doubly wasteful. First, we lose from society’s reservoir the creative potential of so many, and second we see those who are left out lose well-being and emotional security.
