    Lisa Van Gemert is a good presenter and had great ideas on differentiation to implement with your students.

  2. Merri – LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE CISD (verified owner)

    Good course with good resources. Presenter was a little long-winded at times; over-explaining some things.

  3. Chad – CARROLL ISD (verified owner)

    I thought it was very uselful

  4. Irving – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner)

    Too long but helpful. I am still confused by tier and compacting.

  5. Shaisley – SPRING ISD (verified owner)

    This was a very informative course on differentiation. I will implement many of the ideas in my classroom.

  6. Paula – HUNTSVILLE ISD (verified owner)

    I feel this course allowed me to understand many ways to differentiate in my fifth-grade science classroom. I was excited to know I was already doing some of the strategies and looking forward to incorporating more this year.

  7. Diana – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner)

    5 stars

  8. Ashley – BELTON ISD (verified owner)

    Loved a lot of the ideas however I feel like it’s difficult to apply a lot of this to a 2nd grade classroom

  9. Anika – WESLACO ISD (verified owner)

    very useful information

    One of the best and engaging online courses I’ve taken in awhile. She made my learning relevant and validated everything I have been saying about Differentiation.
