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 without PLB. I am thankful!!!
This was a great course!
Great information and helpful!
The supplemental resources (websites and forms) were helpful.
This is my first time doing online courses to renew my teaching license. I have been a stay at home mom for many years and the courses I have taken so far have been very informative.
I enjoyed the course and will implement some of the strategies at my school.
Very insightful class.
Thank you.
Easy to do when the time is convenient for me to do so.
So far I am quite pleased and learning from the courses, and appreciate both the “”everything”” package and lifetime access. Good product, I’ve ended other online classes as either useless or absurdly demanding.
I have feedback for the English Language Learners class — overall, a great course. Thanks again!
This course really pushed the envelope for me and forced me to get out of my comfort zone.
First time experience learning a language online. I was skeptical at first but it is doable through high tech support and good facilitator.
I received a positive experience for learning a language on line.
I like the course contents because they are mixed with old practices and new practices.
This class was extremely helpful. I gained strength and confidence in my ability to speak to my future Spanish speaking parent(s).
This course was amazing! big grin.
I have got several ideas from this course on how to differentiate for ELA students.
This course has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by ELLs as well as strategies to help me in the future. I have very few ELLs in my school and have had very few in my experience, but I feel better equipped to help any ELLs I have in my career. I gained the understanding that my school is woefully equipped for ELLs with the understanding that we have very few.
This course has strengthened the knowledge I have regarding English language learners in the school environment. It also encouraged me to try different techniques and implement new strategies in and outside of the classroom. I am very glad that I chose to sign up for this course prior to September. I will have four students that are English language learners in September and I am looking forward to meeting them due to the knowledge I gained from this course. I truly enjoyed this course. I enjoyed taking it over the summer.
It was a great class. I definitely learned a lot and will certainly use in my classroom.
