    This was a very informative course. It gave me some good ideas that I can and will use in my classroom. It also gave examples of what they would look like and suggested texts that could be used.

  37. Laura – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    Great training.

  38. Brenda – ARLINGTON CLASSICS ACADEMY (verified owner) –

    This was a good course. I wish that the presenters would have attempted to connect their differentiation methods to other classes instead of just focusing on ELAR. There are so many ways to use these strategies in social studies and science. I would have liked to have heard some elaboration of this.

    This course is very helpful in providing examples of how to implement lessons using these strategies.

    I learned many strategies and books to use in research and how to use them for personal response papers.

  43. Alaina – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –

    I like the ideas in this course, but the presentation didn’t seem to really be what the presenters had created. I felt like the presentation was just the visual representation of what was being said instead of truly adding to what was being said. It seemed like the presenters were really sharing more examples to help us understand their ideas and how to implement them.

  44. Rachel – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I think this is more catered towards elementary teachers, so it would be nice to have ideas incorporated as to how secondary teachers could use these techniques.

  45. Jennifer – LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE CISD (verified owner) –

    Informative and useful.

  46. TRONA – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

    great ideas

    well organized, thoughtfully prepared, applicable ideas, and relevant demonstration of theory

  48. PAULA D – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    It is an excellent course, I highly recommended!

  49. Carolina – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    It was very useful by providing many resources to use in the classroom after reading a book.
