Great course.
Karen – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –
While the title didn’t seem to clue me in to the literature focus, I enjoyed the books they shared, some were new to me, and the different outcomes focused on using these books.
Dawn – LUBBOCK ISD (verified owner) –
A lot of ways to use books but the title is misleading. There are no stations. If you have been teaching for a long time there is not much new information. This is perfect for beginning teachers.
Norma – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
Really enjoyed the course. I was able to get great ideas on books I’ve never read before.
