Working as an Art and History museum education coordinator, from 1991 until 2013, I would use this at the bottom of teacher evaluation forms that were sent back with them in a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Easily over a 95% return rate. "Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand!" Called it a Chinese Proberb. Proviso might be: Depends what kind of the 8 learning styles works for you!
