Paula, Teacher, West Ruck ISD
I have a better understanding of how to differentiate my lessons by using the tiered assignments and flexible grouping in my classroom.
Shelly, Teacher, Spring ISD
Nice, concise presentation to remind us of the key components of our assessment system and how they impact student performance.
Christi, Teacher, Carrol ISD
Really got me thinking about the students in my room and their letter knowledge. I am thinking of ways to differentiate assignments based on their readiness.
Yvonne, Teacher, Kress ISD
I like that I can be on campus and not at Region doing this. Sections are short and to the point so I can work on them during my conference period. I can either listen to or read the information.
Kaila, Teacher, Hutto ISD
I like that it was at my own pace, and I was able to go back and listen to a certain section if I needed to.

How Workplace Safety Training Helps Retain Employees
What do you envision when you think of a safe working environment?

What Our Customers Are Saying
Angela Brady, Teacher, Garfield RE-2
| “Excellent content!! Information can be utilized immediately.” |
Angela Younce, Teacher, Piqua City
“This course helps with motivating ALL underachieving students, not just GIFTED underachievers. Many of the strategies given can apply to all learners, even if they are not underachievers.”
Valerie Rayford, Teacher, Conroe ISD
“The course certainly lets one know how gifted education has been and probably will continue to be if some changes and adjustments are not done. It is not being treated as a civil right and not utilized to a great extent to children who have been classified as gifted. The presenter provides very good suggestions and tips to have the program become more effective in our country.”
