“Craig Morrison and Roarockit turned the soggy mid-week energy into an electrified afternoon of high engagement. Students were inspired. Students were recharged. And many students said this visit was the thing they needed to remind them WHY they want to teach and help transform lives in creative and caring ways that give kids their best chances.”
— Aynne Johnston (Faculty of Education, Artist in Community Education Program, Queen’s University)
“Students found Craig’s work with urban youth inspiring and compelling. They would love to see his ‘push pedagogy’ and unique take on skateboard culture make its way into our fine art curriculum.”
— Stephanie Springgay (Professor and Director, School of the Arts, McMaster University)
“In the States, there is plenty of talk about putting students at the center of the educational process. The 'Push Pedagogy' developed by Craig Morrison is a simple and powerful way for young people to actualize it.”
— Mat Schwarzman (author of the Beginner’s Guide to Community Based Arts (New Village Press, 2017) & creator of the Meet Me at the Crossroads: Ideas/Methods/Cultural Activists video series)
