  9. Richard – FORT STOCKTON ISD (verified owner) –

    I am a Texas educator, so I agree with the fundamental premises of this training, such as the anchoring of the lesson in Bloom’s Taxonomy. But I teach in a rural school in West Texas where people are very concrete (even smart students). In light of that, this training is very abstract and I have trouble seeing how I can adapt it to the real classrooms where I am teaching.
