    I loved this course. It was very helpful to make my stations more helpful for my students.

    I would have liked a troubleshooting section–what problems did she encounter along the way and how did she handle the issues. For example, how does she keep everyone on track (and out of trouble), and how does she handle those who need additional support in ALL stations?

    Great ideas
