I got a lot out of this class but it is a lot of work. The book is great and the assignments are thought provoking.

Challenging class-recommend doing this course over the summer for some dense reading. I learned a lot about myself—how I show up for my students and my own loved ones. I was planning on reading this book after Brene Brown was talking it up. Nice to receive credit for it and be held accountable to get through a heavy read with deadlines and fellow teachers.
