Shelly, Teacher, Spring ISD
Nice, concise presentation to remind us of the key components of our assessment system and how they impact student performance.
Christi, Teacher, Carrol ISD
Really got me thinking about the students in my room and their letter knowledge. I am thinking of ways to differentiate assignments based on their readiness.
Yvonne, Teacher, Kress ISD
I like that I can be on campus and not at Region doing this. Sections are short and to the point so I can work on them during my conference period. I can either listen to or read the information.

I like that it was at my own pace, and I was able to go back and listen to a certain section if I needed to.
