  7. Michell – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –

    I like what I’m learning but as a 1st year teacher having to take 30 ours of this seems mute. I have so many things on my plate as it is and I also have to squeeze in 30 hours of GT. I’m learning some good stuff but the reality of me remembering and utilizing it is pretty slim.
