I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to study something of my choice. It is such a rarity in the education field to be able to choose something that will benefit me as a teacher, and that’s what makes this class incredibly worthwhile.

Excellent course — it provides educators with autonomy to choose texts and create relevant, use-projects, while providing consistent guidelines to work within.
