  1. Norma – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was very helpful with SEL.

  2. Maureen – FLOUR BLUFF ISD (verified owner) –

    This was extremely unhelpful. There were no new strategies given. I was also supremely disappointed in her agenda against medication for mental health problems. I will not watch anything by this presenter again.

  3. Kelly – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I thought this was a very interesting course that covered actual topics that relate to my everyday teaching. The instructor gives real strategies to implement, although some I already knew and have/are using.

  4. Pete – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –
