This was a very engaging class that provided a structured approach to thinking about my classroom as it relates to instruction an diverse learners. I was able to create a plan to roll out in August...floorplan redesign, quiet areas, color, texture, lighting...all the things that make it great for teaching and learning. Highly recommends this course!
