The number one take away is making lessons engaging. That is always my number one goal. However, with the issues with time and other factors that contribute with lesson planning, I believe this course will continue to help me refine areas of my planning that I need to reinforce such as investigation and reflection.

I especially liked the work related to working on math problems and looking at the different lenses of the problem.

Great course.
Neftali – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
Good info, would have enjoyed it a bit more if it was geared more towards elementary. The examples are geared more towards the upper grades. I wasnt able to connect with this training. I realize that they are only examples and that I can use this for my 2nd graders but I like videos I can connect with.

While some of the information may seem a little obvious, we sometimes need reminders of what students need-and not just what it is required
