Student Testimonials:
I can only say that these have been two of the best courses I have taking in continuing my own education to enable me to be a better educator. First, the materials and assignments were so applicable - each assignment sparked so many different ideas that I can implement in class this year. Using children's literature to teach concepts in other subject areas is an exciting way to introduce and deepen student understanding of the concepts being taught.
