"I enjoyed taking this course! I took Reading for Success in all Classrooms to receive credit hours needed to renew my teaching license, but ended up getting so much more out of it. The class was fit well into my schedule. I have five kids, ranging from 14 to 7 year old triplets, so my time is valuable! I was able to complete the classwork after the kids went to bed, or riding in the car to their many activities. I would definitely take an independent study course again. It was also nice to learn new strategies to use with my students. I work with students of many different needs and abilities. Learning new ways to differentiate lessons to better meet all of their needs was a huge benefit that I received from taking this course." -Emily E., OH

"This was my first independent study course - with my work load and family life, it was wonderful to not have to be on the computer every night like I had to with other online courses. So, I definitely enjoyed the format and being able to work at my own pace. Because I am a Language Arts teacher, the content was eye-opening and applicable to what I teach all year long - I enjoyed taking the strategies and ideas as I learned them to try in my classroom. The charts and assessment tools are definitely ones that I will adapt to meet the needs of my students." Tricia Wiese, Orange City, IA

Tobiann Waters, Firth, NE
