    I really enjoyed this course. I only took it because it seemed the most interesting, but I really enjoyed it. I learned many new ways to do what I’m already doing in a fresher way.

  7. Patricia – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    The best part of this training was the handout and the application piece, where participants are able to “try out” the strategy. Honestly, I feel it is harder to implement in math, but for social sciences and ELA it is a great tool!

    This course provide excellent ideas to create higher thinking levels.
