    I think the idea of rotation stations is an excellent method of student learning. I just wished this course taught me how to implement READ in the classroom.

    A good course for those who have not used centers in their classroom.

    I would like to know if the teacher has to teach whole group. It would be very helpful if there was an example of what is completed in each station

    I would have liked a troubleshooting section–what problems did she encounter along the way and how did she handle the issues. For example, how does she keep everyone on track (and out of trouble), and how does she handle those who need additional support in ALL stations?
