Jeanette – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) – June 9, 2020

I thought this class was exceptional! I realized that there is so much about 2e students that I don’t really understand. And the disabilities have so many more impacts on their learning. This was a great training that all teachers should see!

I loved this course, but the video “skipped” many times – not sure if it was me or if the video was recorded that way. It was extremely frustrating to miss pieces of information.
