Christopher – HUNTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I liked this first unit. It made clear so many things. It is so nice to know what acronyms stand for. I am quickly developing a bit of a phobia of acronyms, so a unit like this is calming. If I might make one suggestion, I was doing the unit from home and so did not have access to a printer. If there was advance warning that the rubric and the observation evidence sheet might be printed out, I missed it, and so found myself scrambling to flip back and forth between screens. I was able to print the rubric at about the halfway point, and having that in hand was helpful in watching the taped class and scripting it.

1) I feel I possess the ability to read and understand a rubric, and to discern what my appraisers are looking for, but I’d rather take this course online-at my pace- then to be forced to sit in an after school or before school meeting to complete this training.
2) It was helpful to see an example of a distinguished teacher.
