    excellent

  2. Teresa – WESLACO ISD (verified owner)

    Course was very well organized and I learned new things that I was not aware of.

  3. Aida – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    Excellent ideas for middle school reading centers.

  4. Gloria – RIVER VIEW LOCAL (verified owner)

    This is a great course for grades 4 and up. Primary teachers can learn from it, but it will require lots of tweaking to fit the reading skills of younger students.

  5. Kim – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner)

    It explained her topic.

  6. Amanda – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner)

    This course was both interesting and informative, but it was really geared towards older students.

    Great!

    Interesting information. Would be difficult when you only have a short block, but does cover literacy components.

  9. Maria – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner)

    Excellent Course!

  10. Jennifer – SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-U CITY ISD (verified owner)

    I enjoyed how you made an acronym and incorporate all the skills in the stations/centers. Only 2 per day is a great way for the students to have autonomy.

    Lots of great ideas

    Guided Reading for students that are reading very below level.

    It was an interesting approach! It would take a lot of time and flexible thinking to implement.

  22. Tawuana – PROSPER ISD (verified owner)

    I always enjoy learning about new types/prospective on systems in the classroom. Hearing what other teachers use, how they use it and what they use is a great resource. I also like this presenter because she doesn’t mention the purchase of a lot of new things to make it work. I like how she reminds us that the driving factor is student feedback and the concept of “Work smarter, Not harder”.
