Very informative
Kathy – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
A fast paced introduction to lesson design. The instructor provided main points and some examples during the power point. There were not as many examples of lessons to be implemented for various levels.
Adam – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –
I thought that this course offered mostly basic knowledge of lesson design and differentiation techniques. It will offer only a fresh perspective if you have not taken any educational classes recently.
Tom – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
As an introduction to varied approaches it is very well done.
But each strategy that she presented is a full presentation unto itself
