Shaunta – HARMONY SCIENCE ACADEMY & SCHOOL OF SCIENCE – HOUSTON SOUTH 101846 OR 101862 (verified owner) – May 14, 2020

This course was very long and too time consuming. It should be broken into chunks as teaachers get bored easily by looking at and doing the same thing (or what looks like) the same thing over and over for hours.

I wanted to do more with creativity in my classroom, and I purposefully looked for work by Lisa Van Gemert. I was not disappointed. I walked away with numerous resources. I intentionally waited to complete the course until it was closer to summer so that it would be fresh in my mind, and I could begin to use the resources and plan for next year.
