  1. Amy – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    There was no intro. They just jumped into their material without any objectives or agenda. I did not realize this was geared toward ELA and Math specifically, so I would have changed courses. Instead, I sat through the whol thing because I didn’t want to start over with something else.

  2. Lynette – GREGORY-PORTLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    This course had a lot of interesting ideas to use with literature circles.

  3. Delissa – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    The non standard problem solving section was a bit long — key points need to be highlighted as not everyone is a math teacher. More information about how to include this type of content in other classes would be beneficial such as how could an English teacher incorporate son standard problem solving in ELAR?
