"This was an amazing class, and have already seen results with my summer school students. I look forward to implementing these strategies during the 2023-2024 school year! I learned so many new concepts and strategies such as: TAPS, Door Magic, Collection Bank and other fun and engaging activities. I am a K-5 ELL teacher, and now I have so many new strategies to incorporate to ensure my lessons are fun and engaging. I really liked the book, as it is a wealth of information and resource. I really enjoyed how the class incorporated self-reflection into the lessons. I always self-reflect, but I feel like this class made me look deeper and be more honest with myself especially with the multiple intelligences. I loved how the components were devised so I could use them with my students or colleagues during Professional Development. Thank you again for all the work and time you put into this amazing class! I look forward to taking more classes in the future." --Lori M., NE
