What People Are Saying:

This course had many practical applications that I can use right away with my grade level teams. It was especially thought provoking to see the timeline progress monitoring meetings, as I am relatively new to elementary work. I am excited to bring this idea to my colleagues and to think about how to get the district to move in this direction.
