“The course I took was perfect for me as I am trying to write some Health curriculumwith two other Health teachers in the building. Teaching in Special education and regular ed allows me to see subjects from both sides. Instead of doing the two page paper at the end I chose to write a differentiated lesson plan for my Health class as that will be beneficial to me. Great course. I have recommended to a few others as well.Rubric for grading. My writing assignment corresponds with A/B grade area.”

“Thank you for the confirmation email and for offering such an accessible and engaging course. If there are snail mailings for your courses I would be more than happy to post them around our SAU. Between the middle school, high school, our charter and vocational school we have over 200 full time teachers. This total does not include admin, para-professionals or any faculty from our 8 sending elementary schools. Anyways, I am happy to post signage and pass the professional word. “
