    I enjoyed learning a new approach to setting up centers that was more flexible than just having the students move every 20 minutes.

    This course was extremely valuable, and I feel that I could instantly use this in my classroom tomorrow.

  6. Kristi – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    I am interested developing rotations similar to the READ rotation mentioned in this course. I think that it would be helpful to see the rotations in action, and if I was taking the course in person having the time to ask questions.
