informative
Shawn – FABENS ISD (verified owner) –
I thought it was beneficial with some good ideas. However, I also think that they hats do not clearly specify one area which is something that perhaps could be worked on?

Kind of hard to follow. I feel like this would be a great PD. A few hours instead of just 1-hr. I personally had a hard time really understanding.

Quick and informational
Michele – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner) –
I had never heard of this thinking strategy, so it was something new that I can try in my classroom. I think it will be very useful since many of my students just give up when they have a problem they struggle with and just wait for me to help them solve it. This will give them some questions to ask to get them started so they can become more independent learners.
