  1. Chris – CARROLL ISD (verified owner)

    This courses primary goal was increasing internal motivation for students but what was equally important was the concepts of self-discovery of myself as a teacher and as a person. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I got from this course in regards to the way I live my own life and how I can improve the lives of my students.
