Great information!

The course is phenomenal. It teaches you how to go from teacher-led instruction to student led instruction. It also encourages the students to take ownership or responsibility in their own learning. I’ve been persuaded to refrain from the traditional style of teaching to include the 21st learning style of teaching.
