    The course was informative and easy to navigate.

  2. Angela – CARROLL ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was so helpful. It was especially helpful to see the groups of teachers presenting about the different parts of the book and how that fit into depth and complexity.

  3. ALEJANDRA – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative

  4. Maria – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –

    I think this course teaches you to teach students to dig deeper into their understanding. I also think that learning the icons and teaching them to the students will take some practice, but once I become confortable with the icons and I am able to pass it on to the students, the students will be able to understand their the text they are reading at a deeper level.

    I can’t wait to use this training and think this is one every teacher should learn. Not only is this a process students can use to think deeply about material across all curricular areas, but it is a process that will teach students how to think, and will naturally differentiate for students learning needs, levels and abilities. Also, it is a process teachers can use with very little prep for any lesson, once the system is taught to students. Wonderful! Thank you.
