Here's What Past Participants Have Said
Flexibility!
Kim M
My greatest learning with this course was learning the various approaches for small group (i.e. teacher moving to groups, students being pulled, one on one interviews, etc.) and ways to effectively and efficiently plan activities for when students aren't working in a group. Data collection strategies, and planning approaches.
Incredible!
Kate P
Shannon was INCREDIBLE. This training was well worth my time. I feel like I am much clearer now on how to focus my time in small groups.
Do-able RIGHT NOW
Rachel
As always, I have pages and pagers of takeaways! Thank you so much for always sharing information that makes me excited to try new things! I appreciate that your suggestions are always so "doable".. things I can try right away with materials that I already have!
A Better Way to Use my Time!
Laura
In this course, I learned better ways to use time and materials and the 'when' to do small group time. I feel much more relaxed!
Loved It!
Sara G
I loved it because there were things I did not think I had questions on but I did once I saw Shannon present it, and Shannon answered them!
