“Green Light Classroom course was a very useful course. I recommend this course to all educators. The activities were appropriate, and I like how I could work at my own pace. During this course, I was able to reflect and start planning to better myself as an educator and how to make my classroom an even better learning experience for students. There were great lessons that I can use or adjust to accommodate to my classroom. I look forward to next year when I can incorporate more of the nine green light strategies. Thank you for a great course.” -Angie G., IA

“I really enjoyed the Inspire Learning course. I took it at the perfect time. We do not have a spring break and I was beginning to feel in a rut. I’m sure my students were also. The book provided some ideas to improve my teaching, engage students, and have fun! The book is easy to read and provides lesson plans to demonstrate the green light strategies. The strategies are easy to adapt for any classroom.” -Judy S., IA
