This course is very important for me and it inspired me to create my own classroom environment that would make learning experience among students that has connections with the real world. I realized that allowing my time listening the video presented and the discussion done in the process it gave me a clue to design my class favorable to my students. From this course it made me learn more about teaching and learning process as productive teacher.

Amparo – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –
Lengthy and covers all of the topics related to T-TESS.
Todd – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This was entirely too long and far too interactive for an online training. Only in-person PD should be this long and in a format such as this. Writing reflections that go into the void do not help me as they are still one way and not conversational.

Christopher – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This course was more pleasant than I was expecting. I guess my only suggestion for improvement would be in the lesson observation video. It would be amazing if you had several video options to choose from with a variety of grade levels and content areas so that we could see an example of instruction more aligned to who/what we are teaching.

I believe all teachers, first year or not need to complete this every year before school starts that way, they can refresh their minds and implements some of the tools into their educating. At the end of the day, it is for the kids, so we have to be at our best every single day that we step foot inside of our classrooms.

I gained knowledge from this course. That is the reason for these courses. The course length should be reduced for more time to focus on the task at hand. The teacher and the student are what is most important, not new extensive products to reshape what was already there.
