  1. Idalia – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    Very good information

  2. Christine – CLYDE-GREEN SPRINGS EXEMPTED VILLAGE (verified owner)

    Very general information- I feel like this was taught in undergrad college teaching courses.

  3. Brenda – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    very informational

  4. Melissa – 588 Co-op (verified owner)

    It had a lot of information that I had already heard before, but it was good to have a refresher.

  5. Alyson – Allen East Local Schools (verified owner)

    It was informational.

  6. Maribel – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    good presentation

  7. Sarah – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner)

    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.

  8. Neena – YOUNGSTOWN CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner)

    Excellent course

  9. Ashley – WESTERVILLE CITY (verified owner)

    The data analysis was helpful.

  10. Karla – TRIAD LOCAL (verified owner)

    I thought this virtual course was very informative. It provided me with some ideas and insight on how to better decide when to adjust my instruction/pacing.
