Great introduction to D & C!
Gerardo – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative. Lessons are geared towards elementary and middle school students, but the concepts can easily be used and should be used with all grade levels. Worth a look.
Sara – DEL VALLE ISD (verified owner) –
This course was interesting, but I thought it would have gone more in “depth” in regards to providing more specific examples of prompts and how they can apply to students’ lives outside of the classroom.
Dr. Natalie – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –
I lost some understanding of what was being stated or the definition of an area right near the middle of the presentation, but I received clarity as the presenter moved forward. I became confused about the difference in depth and complexity per the prompts , but in the end it all came together.

This was one of the most useful courses I have ever taken on this platform. The instructor was incredible and the content really well sequenced and delivered.
Shannon – OLENTANGY LOCAL (verified owner) –
It was ok. It was helpful to go over the basics of what Depth and Complexity are, so if you are a novice on the topic it would be a good course. However if you already have a basic understanding of the concept, this will be a lot of review and a few basic examples of usage.

I think it needs to be divided into two parts.

I think this is a good introduction to the prompts of Depth and Complexity. I wish there was a little more discussion warning educators from using this as a “listing” strategy and more how to incorporate the frame as a tool to engage students in deeper exploration of a topic.
