This course was very informational and will help me improve my experience with my student teachers and improve the learning of my students.

This class was great to be given some ideas for how a co-taught classroom should look. I have not been sent to any official training in a co-taught classroom, so I enjoyed reading the suggestions and ideas for what it should look like. I will implement this 30-day plan from the start this year, as my co-teacher is willing to do what we need to do for kids to succeed. Amber F., WY.
