 What a GREAT course! I enjoyed every part of it and learned so much more about guided math and math workshop! Your energy and knowledge is just amazing! All of the materials that you shared with us and your ability to make all of us feel that much better about everything is just fantastic! I have been able to implement so many new pieces to make my math workshop run smoothly. I really like using the exit tickets to get instant feedback and group students quickly. I like getting the real time pulse of where my students are on their learning trajectory. All of the information that you shared has been so helpful! I have implemented many of the games and will be using many of the wonderful resources that you and Dr. Nicki shared to make the workshop even better. The forms created to record data will help streamline data collection and will be something that I can refer to quickly. The ability to give my students more choices and have a menu to let them know what their choices will be is so beneficial. Learning to listen more and have students teach each other has been so valuable. Also, not having to run a station each time has been a game changer. I can collect valuable information about students, play a game or have students share their math thinking. I could go on all day! Your ability to keep us completely engaged for the whole course is beyond impressive! Thank you for everything! I look forward to seeing you in the district soon and look forward to more classes to follow! Forever grateful for all your help! All the best, Nancy Killeen
