Testimonials

I am a novice ESE teacher, and not trained in language arts, so I am soaking up useful information like a sponge. Being able to practice and reflect on the real assessment tasks that this course required put new knowledge into practice. I have already spoken with other educators at my school about this course specifically. This course was an investment in me becoming a better teacher.

I wanted to share this with you just because I feel it is important to understand how much independant self-paced programs are to teachers. Trust me, no one likes to pay for a course you can get for free and do at least 95% less work in to pass. But I prefer this than to sit for hours in a course.....doing much of nothing.

Thank you for your help through the course, it was truly invaluable in completing my summative assignments. With your advice, and a reality check, taking my time through each chapter was very insightful and had me genuinely interested in the content. All that to say, thanks again.

I have learned so much in this class that I never even thought about. Even some things we take for granted in every day use. I appreciate you!! You have great insight, patience and great feedback. I have such admiration for teachers, especially since starting to teach this year - it is a lot of responsibility and time management - you have been here for me and I say thank you!!!

Thank you so much for your patience and guidance. You are doing exactly what facilitators for online classes are supposed to do...keep us focusing deeper on content and help us dive deeper into the curriculum. You're awesome.

I just wanted to say thank you for the helpful and positive feedback you provided during this course. I definitely feel like I learned a lot and will use all of this new knowledge moving forward in my classroom.

Thank you for all of your support! I am grateful for your understanding, kindness, and patience. I am so impressed with you and Beacon.

The moment I read your feedback, I knew exactly what you were referring and how to fix it. Honestly, I was so happy to spend the day at the library focusing on my coursework (after a substantial delay due to the start of the new schoolyear) that I "ran away with" the learning and lost sight of the actual tasks assigned.

While it remains challenging to allocate time to such courses while also working full time, it was well worth it to see how this course played out. It helped sharpen skills, and also echoed much of the research and practice to which I adhere... and seeing it within such a course is meaningful.
