  6. Ida – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –

    Great presenter, a lot was connected to English so it was hard to see how it fit in my subject but it was informative. Also, most of my uploads failed so I am not sure what to do about that.

  7. Chelsey – IRONTON CITY (verified owner) –

    This was so helpful in understanding the motivation behind Common Core and how it can help my students.

  8. Brian – BETHEL LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This was a helpful course

  9. Israel – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    This is a very complex and enlightening course, however I believe it has a specific audience and it should be mentioned in the title. Being from Texas, I am not aware of common core. I do, however understand standards of teaching that we have to do and this presentation put it into perspective.

  10. Tammy – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner) –

    It was a good course, but a little long.
