I also enjoyed being able to knock out some training hours in a fun and different way that was very convenient and free to boot.” “I have to say I am very impressed with my overall experience. First of all, I loved the book which made the class enjoyable to complete. Second of all, the information that was provided by each speaker was amazing additional reading! I loved the videos attached to enhance our learning and found them all to be very applicable. I am most impressed with the overall communication between the students and the people organizing this study. I seriously cannot say one negative thing about my experience. I hope that I still get to be a part of this Facebook group because I would love to share with some of my fellow teachers in my school the videos that I was able to watch. I think they would enjoy them and benefit from them as much as I did!” “Thank you I loved it and will definitely participate in another one soon!” Do not hesitate to ask questions ~Dawn Braa #612.207.5175 [email protected] |
