I like that the course was self-paced and split up into smaller lessons. It made it convenient to be able to work on and finish a lesson when I had a free hour. I found the subject matter very relatable as both a teacher and a coach. I am looking forward to implementing the knowledge I took from this course into my teaching and coaching next school year.
