  6. Travis – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I like the information delivered and I left with some new knowledge and considerations I hadn’t been fully aware of before; however, there has to be a better way than to have a guy standing at a podium talking for an hour. Also, this took well over an hour to complete, but it’s only credited for 1 PD hour, so if efficiency is your game, look elsewhere.

  7. James – NORTHSIDE ISD – SAN ANTONIO – REGION 20 (verified owner) –

    Useful information. Much of it confirmed what I thought I knew through my observations in the classroom, but useful tools were given to take action.

  8. Sheila – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner) –

    This presentation was very insightful. I feel more confident in motivating the underachieving student with the information provided.

  9. Stacey – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –

    Wonderfully helpful information!

  10. Susan – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

    I will implement this in my classroom.
