“I enjoyed taking Green Light Classroom. It was good to see things that I’ve been doing that are of value to my students. I had allowed myself to be swayed in some areas by Red Light teachers who made me feel some things weren’t as beneficial. This course has given me a spark back that what I’m doing is best for my students no matter what others may think. I enjoyed seeing the different lessons and how teachers are implementing things in green light classroom. This course was a beneficial on to take.” -Brenda D., OH
