      Excellent! Numerous strategies were explained and shared.

    5. Kelly – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

      I was expecting a training that focused more on effective incorporation of AP language in Pre-AP courses. Great course for English teachers, very interesting content, but most is very hard to apply to general courses given how specific the talk was.

    6. Ryan – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

      It’s good

    7. Bethanie – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

      It’s a good example or a cohesive vision for a class, but I’d like to hear more about how develop your own focuses.

    8. Lauren – GALVESTON ISD (verified owner) –

      Great ideas!

    9. Thomas – NORTHSIDE ISD – SAN ANTONIO – REGION 20 (verified owner) –

      It’s a good overview for teachers who are new to the AP Language course.
