5. Participant Feedback
“Excellent training! Was able to create my lesson on the HUB. The best situation because I was able to have help throughout the session.”
“I loved the self paced work zone. I felt like my time was honored and my individual questions were addressed promptly and thoroughly. I wish this model was used more for teacher training.”
“Hands on self paced training is the way to go! It lets the experienced people get it done without having to wait for others to catch up and it allows those who are having difficulty to get the individualized attention they need without the pressure of holding up the whole class.”
