This course helped me explore and collaborate with others about strategies to implement into my day-to-day math and language arts lessons. My ELL students responded to many of the motivating strategies that I introduced and I was able to assess their learning from the assessment tools that were suggested in the book.

This book is full of quick strategies that are easily implemented into today and tomorrow's lessons. Some strategies are good reminders and many are fresh and motivating. The class has a nice variety of assignments.

I really liked that differentiation available in this text. It is really easy to follow, has great examples, and is immediately applicable to working with ELLs.
