I am taking this online course for continuing education/GT hours. I find these classes both easier and quicker than reading the books on my own, and I really learn new resources and reflect on ways I can improve the learning environment for my students. I found Mr. Cash’s information to be very useful and am planning on implementing it in my classroom. I knew I was missing a piece; I just needed to watch and learn from this training to be confident in the how-to and assessment. I am very interested in taking other classes by him
