  41. Jennifer – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner)

    This class made me think about myself as a teacher and as a learner! It provided me with a great beginning of the year discussion and activity to help me empower my students to control their own learning environment and address their own boredom!

  42. Alaina – BURLESON ISD (verified owner)

    This is a great course! It really opened my eyes to the problem and reality of boredom. I am rarely bored because I have so many interests and I’m in charge of my day (for the most part), but students have different circumstances during the school day. GT students face bigger issues with boredom because they are often asked to do monotonous work or something they do not see any value in.

    Very interesting!

  47. Gabriela – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner)

    interesting training

  48. Mary – CARROLL ISD (verified owner)

    It was an interesting discussion, but hard for me to follow at times. I had to keep replaying the slides to catch everything and the strategy section went really fast!

  49. Jill – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner)

    This is a great course to learn more about engagement in the classroom!

  50. Susan – GROVETON ISD (verified owner)

    This course was personally helpful, as well as offering great ideas to help students.
