The page numbers were wrong for the assignments. This might be because a different newer version of the book is now being used but it should be updated so that it is no longer confusing. The instructor was amazing. She gave great advice and examples to use in my classroom in the future.

Course: MINDSETS IN THE CLASSROOM: Increase Student Achievement
with Brenda McKinney
This class was surprisingly excellent. I say that because I wasn’t sure I was going to like “Zoom learning.” The presenters were thoughtful and capable. They provided usable, real-life examples of how strategies, techniques and tools can be used in the classroom, and in the “virtual classroom” that we’re all dealing with these days. Thank you for providing this class and the positivity that it provided.

This class was just what I needed to prepare for online teaching into the fall. I liked the variety of sessions, from virtual teaching tools to social/emotional learning to trauma-informed teaching. The Zoom sessions were lively, and it was great to take time to discuss further in breakout rooms. Thanks so much, and keep up the good work!

The instructor, Brenda McKinney is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make the learning pertinent and enriching. She continues to challenge me to learn more and gives me additional resources to further investigate. I can not say enough good things about her and her classes. The subject matter of her courses is always relevant and can be implemented immediately.
