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.

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.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Aaronda Smith, Teacher, Dallas ISD
“Absolutely explicit in both intent and strategy, this course has illuminated my mind to the way I prepare to instruct. I try to follow the curriculum provided for me, but I can see more growth in my students when I just allow them to think through things. This sort of teaching truly would benefit all students; not just GT students. I loved the way the presenter engaged with the context of his presentation. I was not bored, and I remained interested throughout the entire presentation. I was actually hoping for more. That is how you know it was good.”
Ana L Rodriguez, Teacher, Socorro ISD
“This was great training. It gives students ownership of their own thinking.”
Zia Hemingway, Teacher, Harmony Science Ademy - Sugar Land
“I loved this course. Mrs. Van Gemert is my favorite of all the GT instructors in these modules.”
