  1. Melissa – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    This course presents easy to implement strategies that can be used across content areas.

  2. Carla – Morgan Local Schools (verified owner) –

    I have never seen centers used in upper levels, and not knowing what that looked like made me nervous to try. Now I feel more confident in being able to complete this 2 times a week. At the beginning of a section of a unit with vocabulary and anticipation guides as well as a couple of mini lessons on reading skills and writing skills. Then at the end of a section in a unit, using centers for reinforcing concepts and working with words in other ways.

  3. Kellie – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked that there were templates available to print. There are lots of examples explained and demonstrated for how to create collaborative learning experiences.
