“This course was fun and easy to follow. I’m amazed how much I learned without realizing I was learning.”
“It was great to be so skillfully manipulated in such a positive way by a master teacher to improve my teaching skills.”
“It was amazing to see the skills that were developed or improved in two days. The most important thing is that it inspired training in ways that will greatly impact the ability of the students to learn.”
“Dr. Johnson’s course set a level of engagement and learning that I will try to bring to all my courses in the future. Truly fantastic.”
“I liked the way it forced me to identify & structure my lesson plan. It reinforced the step by step process.”
