Sir Ken Robinson's 'Creative Schools'
Published this year in April, Sir Ken Robinson (of TEDtalks fame ) kindly wrote about Neil in his book 'Creative Schools'. Neil is referenced and featured in Ken's chapter 'The Art of Teaching'.
"Many people work in other professions who can work alongside teachers... They need a passion for a particular discipline and a passion for sharing their enthusiasm with children. Neil Johnston is one such person. Neil engages students at an exceptional level, whether they are interested in the subject matter or not." - Sir Ken Robinson, Creative Schools.
