“I felt the course gave me strategies for things that I may start doing in my classroom right away. The speakers were motivational and they all did a great job of inspiring. What I like best about these courses is that they really make you stop and reflect on your teaching. It is not someone just telling you what to do. You have to put yourself in the situation. The class forces you to reflect and really makes you think about what you are currently doing and how you are going to change to make yourself a better teacher.”–Lori F., IA
