  1. Jessica – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was very informative. It gave you so many new ideas on what to implement in your own classroom.

  2. Jaymie – SINTON ISD (verified owner) –

    She’s absolutely right that we lose creativity as we get older. We need to figure out how to break the mental patterns to get “over the wall.” If we utilize these strategies, even just a few of them, I believe we can achieve a more creative way of thinking and get more learning, participation, and enjoyment out of our students.
