Bailey – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) – February 2, 2022

It’s ok. A lot of good information jam packed in a way that you may need to take a step back from and think about before returning.

Allison – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) – February 9, 2022

It was a good course and I learned a lot. It was also a little reminder to listen to my students and their needs and everything else should fall into place.
