The Academy is neat! But don't just take our word for it! Read below to find out what others said about the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy.
- "The Academy was incredible. I went in knowing we were going to be working with science and math, but I hadn't drawn the correlation to sports. When teaching, we often try to connect a subject with what's happening in everyday life and if we can, it's usually a great experience for our students." – Ramona, Torrance
- "Coming to the Academy with no knowledge of golf, certainly didn't stop my colleagues, and I from learning a lot from the "pros." The Academy is a wonderful place to network and exchange ideas with teachers from every part of the United States." – Carrie, Arlington
- "When students experience science through hands-on activity, they understand more and learn the concepts easier." – Kim, San Diego
- "The Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy offers an intense, five-day curriculum that gives teachers new ideas, tools and networking opportunities." – USA TODAY
- "Phil Mickelson didn't just put his name on a math/science program. He put his personal interest into its development." – TECH Connect
- "My students are more competent in terms of math. Their test scores are a lot higher. I have also become more competent as a math and science instructor." – Ameerah, Atlanta
- "Science is always changing, and since I have to teach all the subjects, it gives me a chance to really think about the science part of it and get better at that." – Vicki, Akron
