    It’s a good course for understanding how to pace your lessons to have effective student participation and learning.

  2. Laura – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner)

    Short and sweet. Pretty basic.

  3. Scott – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner)

    The course makes sense. I feel that I do a lot of what he is talking about. The course does not discuss how to deal with gaps in student levels, In my classes, based on iReady pre test, my student levels are between grade 2 and grade 7, this is for an 8th grade math class. I find creating several assignments of differentiating instruction to be very difficult.
