I feel that it was very engaging, well-delivered, paced well and incredibly informative.
I can take what was presented and both plan and deliver better lessons now.
I’ve taken several Icons of Depth and Complexity PDs and this was the BEST, by FAR.
I would highly recommend this presenter and course.
Rosa – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
This is a great presentation that really helps teacher understand what each icon means how to shape the content around the icons to better differentiate student learning.
Shelley – Coshocton City Schools (verified owner) –
More informative for intermediate/high school students
Sandra – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
I liked this course and will be reflecting on ways I can use it in my math classroom.
Celika – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –
The information said this was a course for secondary, but did not state middle school; I teach high school and did not find much helpful for me and my students. It peaked my interest because I teach English and thought it could help me with ideas for writing in class, but it was so elementary focused, it did none of that.
Ilene – SAN DIEGO ISD (verified owner) –
This was very interesting but definetly needs to be taught again to fully grasp and for us to be able to apply it in our classroom.
Brooke – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
This was a good introduction into Depth and Complexity.
Leah – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I liked it.
Diane – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –
The course starts out slow…however if you endure you will love the course.
Christina – YOUNGSTOWN CITY SCHOOLS (verified owner) –
I think the last question on the quiz is incorrect. All four were mentioned in the video.

Raul – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
This was an interesting session.
Esmeralda – EDINBURG CISD (verified owner) –
It was very informative, but I disagree with the answer to question 1 on the final quiz. I do not think the prompts overlap each other. There are 8 prompts under depth and the rest are classified under complexity according to your presentation. So I am not sure how they overlap?
Laura – Private Pay (verified owner) –
