    This was fine, it was an intro so nothing too specific was discussed.

  2. Erika – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Presenter was knowledgeable.

  3. Sheryl – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I think that it was very helpful.

  4. Lori – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Very informative, but kind of dry.

  5. Teri – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I learned about the things that should be in a WEP and what things are not required to be in a WEP. I’m glad the district had the training because I felt like a blind person writing 9 WEP’s this year. Now I feel like I’m getting the necessary information.

  6. Trent – RIPLEY-UNION-LEWIS-HUNTINGTON LOCAL (verified owner) –

    The course was well organized and informative on the topic.

  7. Kim – Southern Ohio ESC (verified owner) –

    Good overview of the purpose and steps to complete a WEP.

  8. Angela – PIQUA CITY (verified owner) –

    This coarse helped me better understand the purpose, method, and requirements of a WEP. It also helped my understand that WEPs don’t just have to be a compliance document for a district. It can be so much more!

  9. Gretchen – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    Provides an overview of WEPs

  10. Krista – FAYETTEVILLE-PERRY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    It’s a decent explanation of what a WEP is, but I don’t think it needed to be that long.
