  9. Maricela – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    I liked the fact that if you didn’t have a plan on how to implement the READ centers, the presenter gave you a detailed plan to do so. Also, if you had something similar already implemented, her advice of working with what you were already doing to make it work for you like time management on each station or providing no time seems easy to do.
