  1. Kelsy – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    This course is great in giving book and activity examples to promote social-emotional and key strategies for not only GT students, but the whole class as well.

  2. Kyndall – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was soooo beneficial. They showed you how to use different books rather than just telling you about them. They gave activities you could actually use.

  3. Brooke – HUGHES SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    It introduced many children’s books that could be used in the classroom to differentiate instruction.

  4. Tamra – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    This course reminded me to continually use literature to Engage Young Minds! Easy examples to use in the classroom, but with superior quality.

  5. Judy – LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE CISD (verified owner) –

    I loved everything. This is my fourth course and so far the best.

    I really enjoyed this course. I have heard of many of these books, but now have new ideas. I love that the examples could be adapted to be used at all levels.

  7. Diana – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

    Very relevant! Quick and easy to implement in the classroom right away!

    I thought this course would be on classroom stations around the room, which it’s not, but it gave great ideas of what can be done with children’s books to teach creative thinking.

    This course is really helpful if you want more ideas to promote social and emotional learning in your classroom.
