This class was a wonderful way to read about strategies to use with students. The best part is that you can apply the strategies right away!

This book was incredibly useful! I appreciate that is has many strategies that I can apply to my students of specific needs, but also to my general classroom kids. The assignments and reading was a balance and the fact that I knew exactly what I needed to do weeks before the class was so nice! Everything that I learned, I can now use in my classroom.

What a rich body of knowledge I received from the book, assignments, other participants, and the instructor. This has been an area I have studied for many years and the class certainly added to my toolbox of strategies. I support that’s the basic philosophical insights should be a requirement for all educators.
It is also vital for special service providers. I am a speech – language pathologist in my 45th year and as I always say an “old dog can and should learn new tricks.
