This is the best online course that I have ever taken for PD. Everything is right where it needs to be. The interviews with the Partisans are extremely beneficial, and the lesson plans and study guides are A +++
Rebekah Kotlar
Every teacher should have this training. We read and write about such a limited number of individuals in the classroom; but this would expand our understanding.
Judy Cohn
