I could see this working with higher grades better than k-2. However knowing these hats would help knowing where students would fall and then making it eaiser for me to connect with them.

The course is presented fine. The strategies might be a little elementary for high school age kids.
Teresa – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –
I liked the pacing and straight forward information. I liked the simple, but meaningful task to break up the speaking part of the course. It was a good refresher to use this strategy within my classroom with all of my students.

This course didn’t really expand on how to better use Six Hats. It is a good course for those unfamiliar, but those who have experience it doesn’t expand on the knowledge.
Rodney – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –
I don’t exactly agree on all parts of this as a single focus mindset.
