  • This course was very informational, easy to navigate through and a great review of the SEI course. As a teacher who works with ELLs, it was great to look back on the many strategies that are so helpful to my students. I love that the end of the course provided time to practice using Spanish and gave very useful phrases that can be used in the classroom.

  • Thank you for this very informative and efficient workshop.

  • I very much appreciated the convenience of the self-paced online course. My schedule outside of work is so incredibly limited when it comes to being able to work on anything for myself so when I do have random spurts of "free" time, I so appreciate being able to work hard for days at a time without having to pause to attend an in person session. Yes, they are long days (sometimes I work on courses for 8-12 hours a day for a week straight during a school vacation week if childcare arrangements allow), but that's why I appreciate these courses! I like to learn in the privacy of my home and at the hours that work for my life and schedule. THANK YOU!

    Barbara M.
  • This online course was a good preview for having Spanish speaking students in the classroom, how to accommodate for their learning in the classroom, as well as helping the teacher become more understanding of Spanish speaking cultures and differences.
    Lisa G.
  • I really enjoyed taking this refresher course. I printed out the notes for conferences. I have a very limited background in speaking Spanish, so this has been really helpful and I know I will use this information in the future at conferences and in the classroom. Many thanks for this great course!

  • Overall, this was an informative course with well-documented information on best practices in education. I learned a few new strategies that will be useful in my ELL classes. In addition, it's difficult to find many good quality online courses on ELL instruction and assessment, so this was a helpful option. Thank you!
