This class is very helpful for anyone who is thinking about becoming a parent. It is well organized and focuses on a one topic per week. The assignments and discussions were incredibly informative and really helped me think through/optimize all of the logistics that go into becoming a parent. This was a great class!

The resources presented in this class are invaluable to navigating the logistics of family planning as an educator. I learned so much about FMLA, FAMLI, district leave protocol and insurance. I would highly recommend this class to anyone thinking of starting a family and working in a public school!
