  3. TOMASA – SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD (verified owner) –

    It was good.

  4. Maggie – Morgan Local Schools (verified owner) –

    I was expecting specific content ideas for improving critical thinking in students. However, I felt like this was more focused on classroom management and lesson planning. It didn’t address how to teach students to be critical thinkers.

  5. Vicki – BEAVERCREEK CITY (verified owner) –

    Great practical strategies for incorporating critical thinking into the classroom.

  6. ROSAANGELICA O – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    It was very useful and helped me reflect on my teaching.

  7. Colleen – GAHANNA-JEFFERSON CITY (verified owner) –

    Good content, pace was a little slow

  8. Jerry – WESTFALL LOCAL (verified owner) –

    He made a lot of good points. Very helpful.

  9. Blanca – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    General, generic. Nothing new or innovative. The only positive is that it gets you thinking about organization. I agree with cutting clutter out of lessons and the value of pre-preparation. This might help brand new teachers, but experienced teachers have been doing these main points already.

  10. Laura – MIDWAY ISD – WOODWAY (verified owner) –

    I loved it. Simple, strong, and critical thinking will happen.
