    Excellent course

  11. Dariela – SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD (verified owner) –

    It has great ideas but I honestly wouldn’t have the time to get all that in order. Our day is so full and when you teach all subjects it’s too much to put together each week.

  12. Jennifer – FORT BEND ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was very beneficial as a new viewpoint on presenting information to children with them being actively present and accountable within the learning.

  22. Maria – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –

    I liked the different approach to centers that READ provides. As the presenter states, it might be a bit of start up work, but once in place, it looks like you’d be ready for the following year.

  23. Denise – River View Local Schools (verified owner) –

    I thought it was good; however, not much relates to a first grade classroom. How could I change it to fit for the younger students?

    This is a good example for any classroom that needs a different approach to direct instruction. It allows students to be responsible while also allowing teachers to see how they are progressing.

  28. Lana – HARMONY SCIENCE ACAD (EL PASO) (verified owner) –

    Great approach to centers, can be adapted to other subjects. What I liked was the explanation of student choice and accountability during centers.

    I love that this course presents a strategy that is specific enough to pick up right away yet vague enough in structure to adjust to what is needed.
