Jerimiah, this class was one of the most beneficial classes I have taken in a long time. I enjoyed reading the book, thought all the assignments were meaningful, and felt there were many ideas that I will take back to the classroom with me to support my EL students and my English speaking students, too. I truly believe there is so much more I can do for my students, and what we have learned in this course is applicable for all our students. I appreciate all the feedback given during the class and will use the suggestions in my teaching. Thank you for bringing this content alive for all of us!
