I really enjoyed this course.
Pamela – GREGORY-PORTLAND ISD (verified owner) –
I understand and know how to implement a lot of creative thinking strategies that I had no idea how to do before watching this training. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because I prefer in person trainings.

Very informative.

Too long
Hannah – GEORGETOWN ISD (verified owner) –
The information shared is very interesting and helpful. The only changes I’d make would be to have the handouts in Spanish and also to include more activities for younger kids. Most of the activities seemed to be designed for students who can already read and write or who don’t have special needs such as dyslexia.
