    Excellent explanation of the various frameworks.

  2. Tabitha – WESTERN BROWN LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This course confused me, because it didn’t go into enough detail about the frameworks. It was difficult to answer the reflection questions, because I didn’t feel like I knew enough about the frameworks.

    More trainings focused on GT icons used in the elementary grades.

  7. Tina – RIPLEY-UNION-LEWIS-HUNTINGTON LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Skimming the frameworks made it difficult to see their usefulness in a practical way. More detail and connection to practical application was needed.

  8. Isaac – Private Pay (verified owner) –

    I thought that the instructor was very knowledgeable on the topic.
