The instructor had some good ideas, but her presentation was too long. Also, all of the teaching videos were not necessary. In my opinion, Module 2 was the best because the instructor provided several useful teaching strategies.

It was very well presented. I strongly recommended to let other teachers know it’s not just to teach it’s to know “how” to teach.

Module 2 is great – lots of practical tips. I didn’t feel that Module 1 offered any new ideas or insight. Module 3 was basically watching videos that I could have found on my own. This course could easily be broken down into a shorter offering.
