The course was very clear about helping me understand that each goal must be individualized and meaningful to meet the needs of each child.

Allyson – WESTERN BROWN LOCAL (verified owner) –
Good overview of WEPs, although I am not sure I feel comfortable writing them yet because of all the variables involved

Very informative
Katherine – WESTERN BROWN LOCAL (verified owner) –
I felt that there was very good information in this course but I feel that the delivery, at times, was slightly rude in the way that she tended to diminish the difficulty of goals that are written and designed for students that aren’t WEP goals. I can’t really put my finger on it but her delivery was someone rude to me on some things.
