WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
settings
"Thank you so much for encouragement and ideas as we go through this unusual time. I love the idea you had to include/invite parents to the distant learning class too! When we are in our school building we always encourage our parents to get involved so online learning shouldn't be any different! I also believe this toolkit is going to be a tremendous help. Thank you!"

"This is small, but I like the way Ms. Terry uses the phrase "What questions do you have?" instead of "Does anyone have a question?" To me it gives the message that it's normal for students to have questions and that the teacher wants to hear them rather than giving the impression that students asking questions will be an annoyance or hinderance to the class moving forward."

"This training gave me the tools and ideas that I need to personalize my remote instruction to improve connections with my 600+ students, and it gave me an amazing group of educator-friends who support each other and remind each other that we're not alone in our struggles in this challenging time. Yen is engaging, thoughtful, open-minded, and supportive. I'm looking for other trainings, and I highly recommend this one!"
