    “This was WAY better than I expected (I know that sounds bad but I don’t mean it badly). I learned SO much that I can use, not only with my ELL kids but with all my classes! So many interesting ideas. Plus I also just learned about the different levels of ELL learners and was given several ideas of activities/approaches I can do in class to help them be successful. This truly was a GREAT class!!” – Nat B.

    “I liked how well it was structured. Everything was organized in a way that made it easy to do this kind of work using self-pacing. I was able to watch the videos, then consider how I would complete the assignment, then go back and use the slides to complete each written piece to submit. The simple and very practical way it was all set up in Schoology made it easy to get the work done efficiently.” -Jayson H.

    “I really enjoyed the content of this course and felt like everything taught was very useful and able to be applied within your classroom.

    “I absolutely loved this course for so many reasons! First, I appreciated the ability to work at my pace and the flexibility that this provided me in completing the course.
