“I recently finished Powerful Teaching and absolutely loved it. I enjoyed the reading and the reflecting on my current teaching practices. I have already incorporated what I learned from taking this course into my daily routine since we recently started our 3rd trimester. This is the best course I have taken so far because every chapter I read was so in touch with what I have in my classroom each day. You can tell someone who has been in a teacher’s shoes wrote it and I appreciate that. I feel like this course benefitted me because it is so relevant to what teachers are doing every day. It drove home that some of the things I am already doing in class are great, but it also gave me some new ideas that were simple and didn’t take much time to start. I will be able to use many of the ideas in my classes and as the student council sponsor.” -Kim G., IA
