The non standard problem solving section was a bit long — key points need to be highlighted as not everyone is a math teacher. More information about how to include this type of content in other classes would be beneficial such as how could an English teacher incorporate son standard problem solving in ELAR?
Lynette – GREGORY-PORTLAND ISD (verified owner) –
This course had a lot of interesting ideas to use with literature circles.
Amy – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
There was no intro. They just jumped into their material without any objectives or agenda. I did not realize this was geared toward ELA and Math specifically, so I would have changed courses. Instead, I sat through the whol thing because I didn’t want to start over with something else.

Great review of the importance of strong practices.

Celene – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –
This course was very valuable to me as a math/science teacher because the content presented is something I can apply with my math and science students. It is just the type of “tweaking” I can use to be a more effective teacher meeting the needs of my gifted students.

This is a very practical course. This demonstrated extremely applicable strategies to use with my gifted and non-gifted students. I am always looking for simple techniques that enhance their learning and make sense in an elementary classroom without a gifted pull-out program. I enjoyed looking at ways that I can improve my small group reading activities as well as mathematical questioning.
