Student Testimonials:
I really enjoyed the textbook for this course! It was an easy ready, not stressful to read after working a long day. I enjoyed the assignments that really made me self reflect and think about my current practice. The assignments felt like journaling and each one made me feel very good about myself when I finished. Yes! This course met my expectations!

This course has changed my CDL teaching practices by reminding me to participate in “best practice” even though school is not normal. I think it’s really easy to drop everything I know and try to just survive in this new teaching world. Taking this class made me slow down and remember what’s best for kids! This class was great for me to take!
