Sarah – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) – October 16, 2020

Overall, not bad, but examples and discussion are largely geared toward teachers of younger students. Didn’t offer much in the way of concrete help for high school teachers. Did offer a good introduction and overview for teachers who do not/have never used pre assessments to guide differentiation.
