Nothing needs improvement - a good course that really made me think about what I'd like to do in my classroom differently.

I am a fan of all assignments because all are relevant to successful instruction and student learning.

That last assignment was extremely helpful to me. I feel like lessons that specifically target how we interact with students is key. I actually really feel like I can improve after listening to that. I feel like I have something new to work on.

The best assignment was the video at the end with Denise Spangler. She was able to provide relatable insight that newer teachers could understand, even if they taught a different subject.

The best assignment was the self assessment. I enjoyed looking at the levels of performance and reflecting on my own teaching performance.

I am a visual and auditory learner. The videos were great! They were so informative and really brought back some of the methods I need to use in the classroom that maybe I had forgotten. I really enjoyed these videos and learned new methods that will be helpful to the class environment.

I liked the task rotation assignment. It was related to the groups I do on a daily basis.

I liked the assignment with Dr Strong. He was so interesting to me and he helped me to understand some ideas that I had not considered before.

The best assignments was the Learning Styles.. Really made you look at the students in different ways.

The best assignment was the lectures posted about personalities and the way we think. That was very interesting.

The best assignment was actually thinking about a unit and creating four rotation tasks around that unit. Planning lessons is always on of my favorite things as I try to work in as many types of learners as possible. I also enjoyed the video on the five different minds. It is profound to think about the future and what our students should be able to do.

My favorite assignment was the one about Howard Gardner. He is my favorite theorist and I have used his multiple intelligences and learning style theories in my classrooms, with Girl Scouts and other programs I am involved with. It has really helped me get to know my students and how they learn best.

I thought the class was well rounded and don't really feel that anything needed to be changed. My favorite part was learning about all the different learning styles and how we can incorporate that into our day to day assignments.

I rate this course a 5. Each assignment helped me to reflect upon my teaching methods and how I can involve students more in the learning process.

I would rate it a 5 because I found the information to be relevant, helpful and something I can work on in the classroom to further advance my students.

I think is a very good course, I don't think an improvement is necessary. I would rate it a 5.

I feel this course rates a 5. I agree with everything presented. I liked the reflective assignments, looking at how I taught and assessed when I was in the classroom.

I rate it a 5--I enjoyed this course more than most.

This was one of the best courses I have taken so far. I wouldn't change it. I liked that the videos were followed by assignments. I rate it a 5.

I would rate this course at a 4. There are several ideas I think would be helpful in my instructions going forward.

This had sooooo much great imformation!!! I loved the course because it takes a lot of the pressure off the teachers and places it in the control of the students. I wish I had some of this in school...very unique! I would rate it a 5!

I enjoyed the video workshops that demonstrated the differences between activities and assessments. I enjoyed being able to analyze my project using the Essential Elements Checklist. I will save this checklist to use as I write curriculum in the future. It was relevant and helpful.

I rate this course a 5. Each assignment helped me to reflect upon my teaching methods and how I can involve students more in the learning process.

I would rate it a 5 because I found the information to be relevant, helpful and something I can work on in the classroom to further advance my students. The best assignment was the last one as it made me reflect on my teaching. It also made me aware of what I need to continue to work on with my students and how to fully implement it so everyone is successful.

I think is a very good course, I don't think an improvement is necessary. I would rate it a 5. The best assignment was the PBL checklist, this assignment I have to think in every aspect and make sure that students and learning and are engage in the activities.

I feel this course rates a 5. I agree with everything presented. I liked the reflective assignments, looking at how I taught and assessed when I was in the classroom.

I rate it a 5--I enjoyed this course more than most. The idea of students owning their learning and assessment is very appealing.

I enjoyed the video workshops that demonstrated the differences between activities and assessments. I enjoyed being able to analyze my project using the Essential Elements Checklist. I will save this checklist to use as I write curriculum in the future. It was relevant and helpful.

The best assignment was the video on Essential Question- I believe as teachers, sometimes we are guilty of just writing the EQ on the board and not really understanding how we are going to apply it to the class.

This was one of the best courses I have taken so far. I wouldn't change it. I liked that the videos were followed by assignments. I liked learning more about implementing rubrics because that is very pertinent info for me. I rate it a 5.

I would rate this course at a 4. There are several ideas I think would be helpful in my instructions going forward. I found the assignments regarding rubrics most useful. I see the strength in clearly defining my expectations. Coupling that with student involvement in the development the criteria will lead to discussions of excellence and a better understanding of what and how my students will be graded. I feel this will also improve my students involvement.

This had sooooo much great imformation!!! I loved the course because it takes a lot of the pressure off the teachers and places it in the control of the students. I wish I had some of this in school...very unique! I would rate it a 5!

The best assignment was the one on Digital Safety and creating the Digital Safety hero.

I enjoyed this course. I really enjoyed the "hole in the wall" project, I think that was amazing in so many different ways.

TED Talk with Sugata Mitra was the best assignment, because his research backed up what Alan November said about how the teaching of technology was not the important component for the knowledge economy.

The best assignment was creating digital detectives. It was very interesting, the way that we have to navigate on the web and the importance to teach the students to be safe and to be smart when they are looking for information.

I liked the last video the best. It was humorous and I learned a lot from it. I will try to be more open to letting students learn things on their own.

My favorite part of this course was watching the Ted Talk video and writing a discussion board post in response to it. I found his Ted Talk to be very interesting and inspired me to try a few new things of my own when it comes to designing lesson plans.

All of the videos show where education will be going and it is amazing. It will take a lot of money and hopefully big business will be willing to donate major money because most school districts don't have the budget needed.

Overall this course was very informative and contains a lot of useful information. The best assignment was the initial one, which asked us to analyze the way we lesson plan, which after listening to all of the material, will certainly change.

This was a great review of the different ways to plan and prepare lessons.

I liked unit one the best because I am very eager to learn more about lesson planning. I have not had much experience with the Danielson framework, which made this unit more interesting to me.

I found the best assignment to be the Backwards Design template because it is something concrete I can use in my classroom.

I really enjoyed watching the lesson where the adults had to create stanza 14 for Casey and the Bat. It demonstrated the consideration of the different modalities, but also showed how fun learning can be for students.

It was engaging, I found myself writing down ideas and notes while listening to the lectures/video clips; The content was useful and pointed - it will help in organizing, preparing, planning, and delivery of individual lesson and as a whole.

Exploring the Unit Floor Plan was my favorite activity. This was a great aid in helping me to organize my thoughts. I do not think that anything needed improvement. It was a great way to present the course.

I thought the assignment where we had to self-evaluate how we implement strategies in the classroom was most beneficial. It made me realize how much more I could be doing to help my students. I think the course is very well done. It was concise and to the point.

I feel the section on Assessment as Learning was the most helpful part for me. I had not really thought of that as assessment, but will utilize it in the future. I learned a lot and was reminded about the things I had forgotten after years of being away from the education field. Thank you for this opportunity.

I enjoyed all of the assignments because it gave me the opportunity to refresh my thinking and I was able to reflect on my teaching practices.

I always like Charlotte Danielson's videos because they are always pertain to what is happening in the classroom.

The first two units were full of ideas and authentic examples. I liked those the best! The majority of the examples were set in an elementary classroom and I teach upper level high school math. My classroom looks and runs very different from elementary classrooms. I'd like to see some non-traditional assessments in action at the high school level across several disciplines.

It was very important to find out that grading is not always black and white. There can be variables in finding student understanding

I enjoyed when you had to label the types of assessments at the end of the course. You had to apply the knowledge that you gained or didn't gain from all of the videos.

This was one of the best courses I have taken online. The best assignment was teaching us to learn more about the child in order to help them be successful. The whole course was interesting, relevant and helpful - GREAT course!

The best assignment was learning about how to get better with how to connect with students and engage with them as well. I realized my behavior management may need improvement but I believe it will get better over time.

I loved the video clips of seminars or professional development classes!! It made me feel like I am there even though I am doing the course from the computer. I had not looked at some of the examples the way that they were presented in the class. It was great to see it in a new light.

The best assignment was the video of TED talks. It was a very motivational video!

I thought the "Building Positive Relationships", was the best assisgnment for me, I learned alot of different strategies to implement when I'm working with students.

All of the assignments inspired me to really take a look at how I maintained my classroom, what the learning environment was really like, and where I need improvement over the last 20 years. I know now there are areas I could improve in and that is why I will always continue to learn.

I really like the assignment about the video of the teacher who changed the boys life who was always attention seeking and made him a door greeter. I would have never seen that had I not taken this course.

This course was great because I liked the fact that I worked on my own pace and was able to take good notes. There were various assignments and the videos were very helpful and some entertaining. I liked the unit of Building Relationships with Students and the assignments where I had to type what I am doing effectively in class or what is it that I need to improve on based on the videos I watched. For example, I learned a lot about the TESA Research video over the 15 points in building a positive relationship with a student.

The best assignment was the the Two-Ten assignment. While it requires not being able to finish this course within a day it is one of the most valuable. It is most important to reach students who can be difficult rather than just build up your already successful students. I would rate this course a 4. It was interesting, relevant and helpful for all subject areas and age groups.

I cannot narrow down one best assignment because I think all the information was relevant and valuable for teaching and relating to middle school students.

The best assignment, in my opinion, was the Win-Win assignment because it made me really think about some things that I could improve upon!

The best assignment was Rita Pierson, Everyone Needs a Champion. This section was so inspiring that it made me want to work harder to improve, not just think about it.

I think the best assignment was the last one, Dr,Hamilton's videos because it truly hits close to home, as well as the inspiration speech on TED talks.

I loved this course and I shared it with my supervisor of curriculum. I also left some of the checklists in the breakroom for teachers to look at. I was able to see where I could improve and where I was heading in the right direction.

I enjoyed the video with Ms. King, It reminded me of my self many years ago

Best assignment is learning the different techniques, win-win, win-lose, lose-win. It helped me to reflect on what I would want to do in my class and how I can improve to making my classroom a more positive environment.

The best assignment was watching the video from Mrs. Porter and her student. The way the student expressed how the teacher impacted his life his senior year was incredible. The only thing I think needs improvement is making this a required course for ALL teachers. Everyone should take this course.

The best assignment was the one about building positive classroom environments because it validated many things I currently perform and more ideas to improve in this area. I loved the amount of reflection, writing and discussion boards. Perfect.

I felt this class was very useful and helpful in deciding what and how I wanted to run my classes next year. I felt the best assignment was the reading lesson which clearly showed what can be accomplished when the students "take over" the discussion. I plan to use much of what I learned in my classes next year.

The best assignment was looking at the many different ways of assessing PBL in multiple ways, without the use of paper and pencil. I would rate this course a five with five being the highest possible score. The information in this course great.

All of the assignments were very informative and very relevant to my career as a teacher. They have given me some new insight on things I'd done in my classroom that could have been done differently and given me a very different outcome.

The best assignment was the English teacher that did the lesson on student centered instruction. All the lessons were very good. I learned a lot.

The best activities were the last couple. It helped bring everything full circle and gave great breakdowns.

This is one of the better courses I have taken. I like the real teacher aspect, as opposed to some psychologist who lectures about everything and uses big technical terms.

The best assignments for me were the articles that had helpful tips for dealing with certain classroom behaviors.

Overall, I don't think the class needs any improvement. I enjoyed watching the videos because it is always helpful to see teachers in action instead of just reading about techniques and strategies.

I found the videos to be the best assignments, in which what was being said was also demonstrated or talked about by others. The other good thing about this course was it had a variety of ways to introduce the material, so it was very diversified for all learners.

I enjoyed the videos in this course. I liked seeing ideas that other teachers were using in their classrooms and found this to be very practical.

The best assignment was comparing and contrasting my classroom to the one that was in the video. There was a lot of similarities as well as some differences that were easy for me to adopt. The course was well constructed.

I liked all of the assignments and I took notes on the videos to help me retain more information.

My favorite assignment was the one where I learned the different things about the SWEBS program, I thought this was an amazing idea and I would love to use it at my school.

I most enjoyed the discussion board posting as it gave me the opportunity to not only view the thoughts and opinions of other teaching professionals but also allowed me the opportunity to interact with said thoughts and opinions with my own take on the matter. In some cases, it even opened my mind to views I had not considered.

The best assignment for this course was minimizing student behaviors as it was a reminder on the various strategies’ educators can do to minimize disruptive behavior. I would not improve anything about this course. All the videos and assignments were very helpful and served as a good reminder.

I really like that there were some strategies that I did not know about. I am a firm believer in learning many different types of knowledge, so that I can be an effective educator and mentor to my students. Every child learns differently and it is up to me to apply my knowledge to make sure they are getting the most out of their education.

This course was very interesting and relevant and helpful to the jobs I do on a daily basis.

I liked the information about the importance of the yellow and red pyramid. I also liked the reminder that even though teachers don't feel like they have time to deal with behaviors in places like the hallway-it's important to show consistency and students will respond.

The program overall was great. All the examples of how to approach negative behaviors were awesome.

As a Behavioral Tech I find that the way a classroom is set up can be very important to how a student’s behavior can be curved. The environment plays a key role however it’s also how the teacher utilizes the space a tools. I found this to be very useful and informative.

This course served as a reminder to make sure the classroom is a safe place where students can learn and are not distracted. The best assignment was the interactive classroom tool. This tool allowed me to think outside of my classroom and thing through what I would do in a new classroom.

I always like watching videos over paper work. It works for my learning style to see it and hear it. This course is a 5!

I would rate this class a 5. It was clear, concise and easy to follow. The best assignment was talking about whether walls should be colorful and full of student produced work or devoid of anything that distracts students from their task at hand.

The best assignment to me was creating a model of your own classroom.

I enjoyed using the classroom seating APP because it was very useful!

The best assignment was the one from Teacher TV with the advice on arrangement. I feel this one hit the heart of the matter. It did not tell the learner... this is the way it must be done. It gave both sides of the coin. The learner had to determine what was right for them as a teacher... not everyone else. Just like every student is different... every teacher is different and each teacher needs to do what is comfortable for them. Personally for me, having a classroom with a bunch of colors and cluttering all around the classroom would drive me crazy. Other teachers would love it.

This class was a 5! Great experience viewing how other teachers set-up their rooms. I liked reflecting on how I arrange my classroom to best suit the needs of my students.

I think this training had some great videos and honest discussion.

I loved all of the assignments...can't pick which one I liked best.

I would rate the course as a 4 - expectations were clear and all resources were relevant to the topic. I felt that each of the sections offered insight in to how to effectively manage physical space.

Great course! The best assignment was learning about the smart seat app because it is an awesome resource!

I really liked the video clip where the teacher had the students analyze propaganda posters in the Integration of Disciplines lesson. It combined English with a social studies lesson and was both fun to watch and fun for the students. The students really seemed interested and engaged and the lesson spurred lots of conversation between the students. I also really liked the Using Humor to Maximize Learning segment and how strong emotions build strong memories and how humor is the number one thing that kids appreciate in a teacher. I'm going to try to be more lighthearted and incorporate humor whenever appropriate.

I enjoyed all of the articles and the validation of using humor in the classroom.

I liked the final assignment because it allowed me to reflect on what I had just learned.

A lot of these classes are not oriented towards my setting, but I do like the importance of making a student feel important ALL the time, even when he/she doesn't get things right.

I enjoyed the course and found it to be interesting, relevant to me and helpful as a classroom teacher and future administrator. I think the "Seven Ways Teachers Can Change Their Expectations" was a good assignment because it gave me suggestions I had not thought of before such as watching my students interact and experimenting by changing how I react to their behaviors. It has also helped me to see that I need to have lunch with my students periodically so I can get to know them better individually and as a class.

This class was really relevant to me. My students are on the spectrum and finding clear ways to communicate is a goal for me to improve on.

Honestly, I like watching the videos that were selected for ideas, but I love contributing to the discussion boards. I really enjoy reading the comments and getting ideas from other teachers. In addition, I love hearing how others tackle using high expectations too!

I enjoyed watching Doug Reeves. He was practical with good ideas and humor. I think it was a good combination of videos and documents that it kept me interest.

I would rate this course at 5. It was thorough, yet not overly drawn out. The best assignment was the construction of higher order questions because it made me apply what I had learned.

I liked this course because I learned some things I can use while teaching my small groups. I did not realize when I began this course that it was specifically geared for teachers. I thought it was a course that provided information for anyone in the school system on how to get students to think on a higher level. I am a paraprofessional and I did get some good tips on how to get the students in my small groups to think on a higher level so I do not regret taking this course.

It was interesting to evaluate myself after 11 years of teaching to see what I was doing correctly, and areas that I was not. It gave me great ideas on how to really have more accountable discussions through higher order questioning.

I would rate the course as a 4 - the convenience of this platform is great! The best assignment was the last one, creating critical thinking questions. I feel that I created some really good ones that I am looking forward to using in my classroom.

This course was helpful because it helped me expand on how I interact with my class when it comes to asking higher level questions. Additionally, I was able to compare Costa's Levels of Thinking to Blooms Taxonomy. The best assignment was coming up with your own higher level questions. It really made you think (just like our students) about what you are teaching, why you are teaching it, and how your students might feel when asked. More importantly, it promotes higher order thinking. The course felt long for a professional development day - it was an in-depth class which I wasn't expecting.

This course gets a 5 - it was great! I especially liked the segment where the kids are sitting at round tables with a white board.

My favorite assignments was where we watched the series of videos in the college classroom. It gave me many ideas and a different outlook on active learning and teaching.

I found it to be very interesting, absolutely relevant and very helpful. The best assignment, in my opinion, was the final reflective summary of how I will implement this active learning approach in my classroom.

I liked the 23 strategy assignment because it had a lot of great ideas. This class was very informative and does not need to be improved.

I enjoyed watching the videos that pertained to giving advice on using the strategies in class and also the ones that gave the student perspective on active learning, how it helps them to achieve and learn. I am always more interested and invested in things when I know the impact it has had on real students.

The videos with actual activities being used in actual classes was very helpful. It was also great to see the list of different active learning activities in writing and be able to list ones we have used in the first assignment.

I would rate this training a 5. It had many great strategies and examples of utilizing active learning within a classroom. Also the examples were varied to use in an elementary, middle or high school setting. I also enjoyed the video of the teacher who had centers and she would explain in detail what is expected of the students when they work on a lesson at the center.

The content was relevant and worthwhile. The best assignment was the section on vocabulary - I implemented so many of the strategies. I was also really glad to see attention placed on project based learning.

I enjoyed this course very much. I felt is was very beneficial since I have been substituting this year and recently took over a third grade classroom. One of the assignments I found helpful was the CHAMPS video. This is an awesome management system for project-based learning. This system is taught to the students and they have clear expectations of how to work together to accomplish a goal. I also enjoyed the observation of a middle school teacher's hyperbole lesson. The organization of her lesson as well as management strategies were helpful to view.

All assignments were great PROJECT BASED LEARNING FACILITATOR , CHAMPS. GREAT STUFF!!!

I liked watching the videos of actual classroom activities in use and then having the questions afterward. I liked those because I was able to see how other people implemented the activities in a real life scenario.

The assignment requiring me to watch classroom examples of active learning was very worthwhile. Even though there were only 4 specific videos required, I watched all of them and gleaned a better feel for managing the class through more actively involved student centered lessons.

I would rate this course a 4 overall, as it provided many valuable techniques and ideas.I thought the section on active note taking was very beneficial especially for a class such as history where there are copious amounts of notes.

I enjoyed learning about being able to relax when students are engaged in active learning such as PBLs and how even though I'm the teacher, I'm not expected to know everything. This learning strategy allows students to be more responsible for their own learning.

The best assignment, in terms of being really new to me, was the assignment involving you tube videos of specialized classrooms. It really opened my eyes to several new facets of physical arrangement of the classroom and specifically where I am located in terms of the students. I had never considered locating myself right in the center of the student groupings. Awesome idea!

The best assignment is having the journal prompts-- just like in a classroom, critical thinking and relevant application is key!

The best assignment to me was the clips of the strategies being used like Pair and Share, Step Interview, Jigsaw Activity, and Structured Academic Controversy because I learned better than just reading about them.

The best assignment was the classroom environment. It was very exciting to see how the classroom fit the ideals of active learning.

The sections on PBL and teaching what the students want to learn were my favorite parts of this course. Our education system needs to change and these are some great changes to make. I would rate this course a 4. There are a lot of videos to watch but I don't think anything needs improvement.

The videos and the points of view and information that was shared were interesting, relevant, and helpful for this course and for future planning of activities and success.

I think it was a very well put together course. I enjoyed the different perspectives presented in the course. Though I didn't agree with all of it, I enjoyed sitting and thinking through my thoughts of how I think education should be.

I thought the best activity was the video lesson by Jay McTighe. He gave me a clear understanding of essential understanding and essential questions. I always created an essential question for each class and they always had a definite answer. McTighe stated that an essential should be more thought provoking and span over several lessons. I will use his techniques to create my essential understand and questions in the future.

I found it interesting and informational. The best assignments are those that teach the older teachers how to deal with the world of higher thinking and world technology.

I enjoyed the video examples of student engagement. I like being able to see how other teachers work with students. It helps me reflect on my own teaching and gives me good ideas for changes.

The best assignment was the discussion board on active engagement. The videos were good but could be more to the point.

I liked the Earth poster presentation - it showed evaluation of the rubric and how to get the kids involved in the evaluation and also provided excellent review/reinforcement of the material.

I would rate this course a 5. It was very helpful and eye-opening. I think it was jam packed with useful information and had great handouts. After watching the assignments about project based learning the second time through, I felt even more inspired to incorporate PBL into my classes on a regular basis. So now, I feel that those assignments regarding PBL were the best in this course.

I enjoyed the videos of the classroom. I think seeing what does not work would be helpful too. I imagine this might be difficult to get from an instructor. I rate it a 5.

I liked the Video "Shifting teacher's role to facilitator." I liked it because it confirmed the ideas that teachers don't know everything, in other words are not experts on everything, and they can learn from their students' work in Project Based learning. Teachers need to have a shift in their thoughts about teaching and give up some of the control and be more flexible, while they manage students so the classroom doesn't get out of control. I think allowing for a changing classroom environment can be frustrating at first, and the video helped to explain the struggle in shifting the teacher's role.

I like that learning is put back into the hands of students and gives them opportunities to take control and understand the importance of working together with others for one goal...a concept that will help later in life.

I enjoyed the video on multiple intelligence. I think this can be increased in classrooms

I liked the 23 strategies lesson because I got a lot of new ideas from it.

The best assignment was to watch and evaluate the many videos showing classroom lessons with engaged students because it was easier to see how to apply the concepts and philosophies. We were able to see good examples of what was working or where improvements could be made.

I give this course a 4. It was a very good reminder of what I need to do to keep students engaged.

I appreciated the review of Bloom's Taxomony. Best assignment was one about shift of teacher role to facilitator and the CHAMPS strategy to use with the students. It helps with managing the increased interactions and keeping us all on the same page regarding what should be going on.

This has great resources for increasing levels of projects used in the classroom.

Very useful- students have changed we educators need to learn a different approach. Loved it!!!

I would rate the course a four overall. It was helpful to see PBL in action as well as how it works in different grade levels. I actually liked the quiz at the end it was a great recap and reinforcement for all of the ideas presented throughout the module.

I rate this course a 5. I enjoyed the video examples of other teachers classrooms. It helps me to see how others approach teaching and also gives me good ideas.

I would give this course a 4 as it was interesting and helpful to me and my classroom. I really liked learning and seeing the 23 active learning strategies and how everyone's teaching style is kinda similar and kinda different, but the end goal is always the same as we want the students to learn and be engaged. This all depends on the teacher sometimes and sometimes the students.

There are many helpful ideas and I truly enjoyed hearing the students speak out on what they thought. I like the episodes where the teacher was in the classroom and you could see the interaction between the students and the teacher. I found that very valuable. I learned a great deal about the center concept, cubes and menus. I feel they are all easy to put into practice and will be adapted into my curriculum with no difficulty. I like giving the students more "free will" and responsibility for their own education, and in a way, the idea of becoming a facilitator instead of a walking answering machine. I think in the long term it will make teaching easier and more enjoyable for all involved.

I loved learning about cubing and menus! I plan on implementing them into my classroom. Students work together and they both reinforce learning of a subject.

I liked learning about reinforcing learning with menus. Because working with IND high school students. Set up different things on a menu and giving them a choice to pick what they want to do.

This was a good course. I would say a 4. I really enjoyed Charlotte's input and her comments on the lesson. It was nice to see the outcomes in the first section and thoroughly match it to the domain that helped a successful outcome.

I enjoyed watching the lesson and listening to the reflection. It helped me base my thinking.

The best part of the assignment was getting to watch Charlotte Danielson explain her thinking and rationale as she was the developer behind this rating system.

I feel the most beneficial part of this course was choosing the domain to go along with each scenario outcome because it helped me to understand the domains more.

The best assignment for me was fitting the questions into components. It helps bring the components to life.

I enjoyed the Reflective Practice Blues. It was amusing and summed up the course.

I enjoyed the activity about informal observations. As teachers we need to pay attention to all of the day to day things that go on in the students' lives because it all affects how and what they learn.

The Identifying Problems-Making Changes-Measuring Results video was the best assignment because it offered a lot of good ideas to use in my PLC and data team meetings. The last series of videos were a bit long and repetitive.

I love the videos of classroom examples because being able to see how other teachers apply these techniques was very valuable for me.

I really liked the video showing teachers going over math data and showing how to set and implement instructional goals. I didn't see any obvious way for improvement because it was all relevant and helpful.

I enjoyed the assignments about STEPS and PALS- I can see the impact these have on student learning.

I enjoyed the assignments about STEPS and PALS- I can see the impact these have on student learning.

I really liked the introduction website, pinterest, and the scholastic website. I think they had a lot of useful ideas.

I give this course a 5. I thought some of the ideas other schools did was very motivating.

I learned things regarding meeting parents needs that I wasn't aware of, and how to engage those parents to better meet their needs. I also understand that not every parents sees education in the same light. That it hows different value to different people so you need a variety of approaches to be able to hook parents into a supportive role for their children.

The written assignments helped with articulating what was learned in the reading and the videos.

I think the best value of this course was to see how other schools are managing parent involvement, it's not just about parties anymore! I love the schools our west that are using the FAST idea and training their parents. I think a lot of times parents ask to help and we have no time to train them on what we would like to see them do or help us and their children with. This course opened my eyes as to "HOW" I can use my parents to help them help their child. Loved it.

The reflective assignment about 13 characteristics of exceptional teachers was my favorite. It allowed me to think inwardly about the importance of the role I have as a teacher and how I can use the tools I have learned.

The Discussion Boards were the best. I was able to see what other teachers are implementing and how they feel about the videos we watched. Shared experience bringing more ideas to the classroom. That was valuable to me.

The assignment about social and emotional learning was very educational and important.

The reflective assignment in A+ Teaching Strategies about 13 characteristics of exceptional teachers was excellent. It allowed me to think inwardly about the importance of the role I have as a teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons. I felt that each component had meaning and was beneficial.

I enjoyed how the strategies in this class could be as simple as changing one thing. I also liked how students were engaged in the lesson to ensure their understanding.

The discussion boards were great! I was able see what other teachers are implementing and how they feel about the videos we watched.

I like how the A+ Teaching Strategies focused on student engagement and SEL and the intersection between the two. Thank you!

I learned how to de-escalate a situation with an angry student and to help them to regulate. A+ Teaching Strategies was great.

The course is well organized and clearly describes each point it is making. I rate it a 5.

I loved the clips, the question and answer assignments and I always like when we have to comment on others' posts.

The questions were thought-provoking and challenged educators to think about their own role in behavior and reaction to behavior.

This course is definitely a 5!

The ACES study was truly eye opening for me because it definitely gives a baseline for measuring trauma. I also enjoy the timeline assignment that talked about brain development from conception up to 25 years of age.

I felt as though this was very well put together and informative.

I thank you for this course. The information in the assignments was valuable to me in understanding how to help my students and to understand the how and why some behaviors escalate as quickly as they do and how we can work to bring the situations back to a workable place. Respect and dignity should be afforded to all, including students.

I thought the course was a very well put together look at ADD/ADHD. The best assignment was to watch the videos with Megan. She was very insightful.

The best assignment was a video about desire, motivation and follow through and explaining that students have to have a willingness to work for a goal and how we can help with that.

I like the videos by Megan Slater best. They were really informative and practical.

I did like the videos with the counselor that was an adult with ADD/ADHD. She put a human element to the disorder but also offered "real life" type of strategies, etc.

I enjoy learning about issues that affect my students so I can better assist them and watching videos is a more enjoyable way for me to learn.

The best assignments were the videos by Megan because they were relevant and current. I also enjoyed the last video because it was entertaining.

Favorite assignment was the final video, "How ADHD feels." This pulled it all together for me and allowed my insight into these students' thought processes to see how the various strategies presented within the course are helpful for these students.

With A Guide to Teaching Students with ADD/ADHD, I learned how to be patient and use a reward technique.

The black and white thinking and OCD behaviors were new things I learned about during A Guide to Teaching Students with ADD/ADHD. This will better able me to help reorganize their thoughts into something positive. The best assignment was watching the vlog.

The information and video regarding resilence was my favorite assignment. I would love to learn more about it.

In the course, COVID 19- A Traum Informed Approach, learned I didn't have all the answers. I don't have to attempt to fix everything. Just listening and allowing students to be heard and ensuring them they are not alone is enough. I also learned that students need to have physical activity and I can encourage that direction. I felt the course was so well put together with information I need.

I believe anyone working with children should take this course despite the demographics in their particular school.

Very eye opening and useful information. Best assignment was reading the Taco Night form and seeing simple ways to incorporate culture into daily lessons.

The Culturally Responsive Teaching portion of this lesson was the most interesting to me. I think we all need reminders of how different people learn differently and not just from the academic standpoint, but the cultural as well. Worth the time, for sure!

I feel, as educators and paraprofessionals, it is important to understand your students and their families cultural background. This course had some great ways of helping understand the importance of culturally responsive teaching.

The best assignment was the strategies working with the ELLS students. With the use of all of these strategies students can develop their critical thinking skills.

I thought was well put together and full of helpful information. The best assignment was just being able to go into the classrooms and see the kids in action in the videos.

I wouldn't change anything, good subject for the classroom. I enjoyed learning the 6 strategies in the last videos.

I am a teacher assistant paraprofessional. During my employment I have engaged in many on line classes, but this course had many topics I've come across, knowing & not knowing. Can't truly give what section stood out as number one because I learned something through out. I work with ESOL, ELL, ASD. in various areas of education, but the last piece about Taco Night touched personally. All information about strategies & preparation really broke things down and explaining depth of multicultural equality awareness.

I enjoyed the course. It is very informative and gives many ways to address cultural awareness.

In Autism in the Classroom I liked how I had a chance to reflect on the assignments. I learned different teaching strategies related to autism. All assignments were helpful and gave great insight about autism.

I really liked the lesson on visual support tools.

I like the entire course!

In this course I learned that teachers can be more open engaged with students about some personal issues.

The honesty and willingness to address real issues rather than surface topics. This course was terrific.

I learned a lot ways that children are affected by trauma. The best part about the assignment was watching the videos

Beyond Behavior Modification was a great reminder and refresher for me. I enjoyed the concepts that Ms. Forbes shared and plan on buying her book. The best assignment was viewing the 10 concepts videos.

With Beyond Behavior Modification I learned how and why childhood trauma can affect you as a child and as an adult.

I like that Beyond Behavior Modifications goes into detail to help teachers understand why it is so important to form healthy relationships with and undertand their students.

Beyond Behavior Modifications is excellent. I learned that trauma effects the student's ability to learn.

I thought the best assignment was the video showing the example reading lesson and intervention.Nothing needs improvement, very concise.

I enjoyed the assignment on how to teach to a struggling reader as it offered insight and tricks as well as re-enforced teaching practices that are taking place.

I enjoyed getting the checklist and looking at the various accommodations for students but also the chart of indicators to look for when wondering if a student has dyslexia.

I enjoyed this class. I learned so much more about about dyslexia and the facts not the myths.The insight of a student with dyslexia was a eye opener of how they see and understand things and how they memorize and how the brain connect and look different from left to right. I also enjoyed the different drills that was use with dyslexia students.

I really enjoyed learning new things. I enjoyed learning about how people with dyslexia can with interventions, re-train their brain. I also loved learning that "facts" i have been told in the past were actually false and people with dyslexia can actually be highly intelligent.

I thought that the best assignments were the ones that described what Dyslexia is and how to identify it as I knew very little about it. I thought the assignments and information were very helpful. Thank you!

I thought the sheets that were printable were very helpful with the strategies listed. This is something I will refer to in the future.

I thought this course was well put together. I learned a lot. The assignment about the Orton-Gillingham method was the best assignment.

I enjoyed watching the videos and then writing a written response to compare thoughts to what was happening at my school.

I liked the assignment that related to the assessment of the overall course. It was a great way to review all of the important ideas that were extracted from the videos.

I enjoyed this class a lot! I enjoy each class i have taken but this class showed how sometimes a student might not have a disability but just needs a little help in a area that may be hard for them to learn. I learned more about how you have a team to come in and see what kind of goals to help with students' achievements.

I like how they illustrated the "5 Reasons Deep" process with two teachers, and how they illustrated the IAT process by using an example with an elementary student and then with a group of secondary teachers. I believe that using this method would be extremely beneficial to any school.

Everything was great. Videos were good, role play was helpful, and the best assignment was reading all of the other comments.

The best assignments to me were definitely the ones that involved the scenarios so I could read and see examples of the meetings.

I'm always wishing for more opportunity to see where my colleagues are at in their thought process. The course discussion boards were all of the best assignments as it allowed me to see the opinions and thoughts of my colleagues.

I would rate this course a 5. All teachers would benefit from this course. It should be a requirement.

I thought the concepts taught about combining some curriculum between two core classes was very useful. This is something that I (as a new teacher) could implement without needing to go to ask my administration to change how they do business.

I did like this class, it helped me understand some things that I didn't know before. I liked learning about the different ways of teaching with other teachers of different levels.

This course was very informative and helpful. I feel better equipped to teach all students. I liked the multiple choice assessment because it helped me review and assess what I needed to revisit.

All the assignments was very good and instrumental to me because I knew just a little about Inclusion and how the team of teachers work together to co-teach students with special needs and kids without in one classroom without singling the students with specials needs out.We need more classes on this topic it was a wonderful class.

I truly loved watching the videos of the young ladies and the young gentlemen that took the time to explain their learning disabilities and how it has impacted their lives.

I am a visual learner so having all the videos helped me answer the questions better. My favorite assignment was Understanding the Direct Instruction method, because I never really thought of it and it is very simple to understand and apply

I liked the discussion post, because I was able to read through other teacher's thoughts and what worked for them in the classroom.

I would say that I enjoyed the mnemonic device assignment the most. It brought back some memories and really drove home for me just how effective that tool is.

I enjoyed watching the videos of people explaining how it is to live with learning disabilities. Often times, we don't take the time to ask our students in order to understand why and how they struggle, so to hear this really was beneficial.

The best assignment (in my opinion) was the ability to view numerous video learning exercises and being able to reflect and test on their influences.

Best assignment - teaching note-taking skills as this was a very specific process that I can implement right away

The best assignment was the graphic organizers video series because it ensured that your graphic organizers had a purpose other than filling them out.

I liked the note taking information because it was the topic that I've spent the least amount of time teaching or researching. It could really help some of my students that struggle. Specific to helping students with learning disabilities, I was most appreciative of the topics that explained the four different types. My favorite assignment was the sharing of information with acronyms. Those are so useful!

I really enjoyed this course and found the information relevant to both teaching kids and raising kids. The information presented was easily understood and ready to use immediately in the work and home environment. The best part of this course was being able to answer questions and respond/add on to the discussion threads. I like learning information and then being able to discuss it. I also like reading other people's responses.

I felt that I gained the most from the personality profiling. I found it very interesting in that doing my own profile, I would be able to interact more effectively with my students. In the presentation, he also gave examples of how different profiles get along (clash or cooperate). I feel that this will help me in learning about each student and knowing how to communicate with them.

I think this course allowed me to reflect on the things that I have control over and that I can change. I also think that my approach to the more difficult students will be different moving forward. I want to use these strategies to see if they work. I would like to give my teachers access to a quiz to access their students personalities.

I completed the course in a span of 4 or 5 weeks. I really enjoyed the videos more than the assignments. However, the tests were good because they were challenging and made me really think back and reflect on what I learned.Taking too long to complete the course might not be beneficial. You tend to forget important concepts.

It was so interesting and relevant. I plan to use as many of the strategies from this class as I can remember.

I liked learning about the communication patterns. This is not only good for the classroom, but is also helpful in parenting my own children.

I loved learning about the implementation of RTI. This is terrific.

I really enjoyed the extralinguistic cues segment as it was really informative and practical. I am eager to implement these strategies into my lessons to help the ESL students succeed in the classroom.
