This content was interesting and engaging. I felt the case-study approach made this class relevant and I appreciated the variety of mediums that the content was present (videos, podcasts, articles, etc.). The instructor gave thoughtful feedback and showed a passion for the topic as well!

Excellent course! I appreciated the way each topic was presented with a variety of compontents (video, podcasts, articles, book case studies) to understand each concept on more than one level.

I appreciated the process of looking through case studies deeply to identify subtle and not-so-subtle biases. In addition, we practiced making phone calls to families to address hypothetical scenarios where equity issues came into play. I found it very helpful to hear how other people address these scenarios. The "Speak Up Pocket Card" was also a very useful resource for addressing inequities in conversations with others. I think this class is highly relevant for people because you can use the content inside and outside the classroom.
