  10. BRENDA – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Erin Muck provided detailed descriptions of how these rotations have worked for her. Plus, she makes it clear that it didn’t instantly work. It will take time and tweaking for it to be effective in each of our classrooms. It keeps it realistic.

  23. Rosa – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked the organization component and the acryonym READ but I would change it to make it more elementary friendly.

  24. TOMAS – SAN FELIPE-DEL RIO CISD (verified owner) –

    The course exposes a great idea for structuring a classroom for ELA activities. However, there would need to be agreement between all classes/teachers when working as self-contained classes, as no teacher is allowed to have a varied approach to instruction for that particular grade level. Rotations may be the way to go.

    I feel this course is very interesting because it relates to our students’ meaningful interactions with their peers and hands-on activities. They will be working at their own pace, so they will feel comfortable with the new learning.
