    I like the clarity of ideas, as well as the number of ideas discussed. This allows teachers to choose which they feel meet the needs of their classroom, with no set use/limitation. Having options allows us to try/modify/adapt her suggestions and tools, which means teachers are more likely to incorporate them successfully into practice.
