Too Much Information. I really wanted to understand how kids are identified. This was way too much to understand.

This was too much information in one sitting.
Kirza – CLEBURNE ISD (verified owner) –
Information was not clear. Information presented in confusing format. Not able to look back at content to answer open ended questions. Answer was deleted if moved from question.

This course was informative, but it was very long. I would find this training more beneficial in person than online.
