Past Participants' Comments

"The professor was top-notch. She was insightful, helpful, patient, and excellent in responding to our discussion postings. She humanized the class and helped us feel comfortable with the online format and with each other.

The comprehensive way that we looked at differentiated instruction by studying the contributing factors made me feel confident that I can implement it in my classroom. I had never really thought about NCLB and cultural diversity when considering differentiated instruction. Those are exactly the types of areas I need to assess if I want to successfully differentiate instruction."

"The feedback of the instructor was invaluable; her comments were professional and well received. Mandy was incredible!

The other learners' posting were valuable to me; we had a particularly responsive and supportive group of participants. I gained so many new ideas and perspectives from their discussion postings."

“I liked the collaboration between peers. Developing the lesson plans and getting critiqued by my classmates was the most helpful. It made my rethink what I am doing and what I could be doing better.

I would recommend this course to others because it gives you the opportunity to examine how your school/district is doing with regards to differentiation.”
