This course was very content rich!!
Lots of great information to use in the classroom to help my ESL students learn and feel comfortable! Thank you!
I had a question regarding completion of course and the inability to print off the certificate. The tech got back to me within hours, was able to answer my questions, and did a couple beneficial rearranging of courses. As it turned out, I hadn't completed the course so I was able to complete it and go on to the next course. I don't know what I would have done with out PLB. I am thankful!!!
Nice refresher course.
This was a great course!
Great information and helpful!
Overall, this was an informative course with well-documented information on best practices in education. I learned a few new strategies that will be useful in my ELL classes. In addition, it's difficult to find many good quality online courses on ELL instruction and assessment, so this was a helpful option. Thank you!

I really like the listening option with the topics. Each page seems to fit a new letter/number in an outline.
