Given the creative bent to the course it would have been very wise to have it spread out over a longer period of time. I often felt as if we were just skimming the surface in what were conceived to be much more thoughtful projects. I learned hands-on, practical skills and techniques to carry back to my middle school English students in Belmont. Moving around to two rooms was counter-productive. Please continue to offer these.
Teachers have such little time for professional development.
This was refreshing and fulfilling. The course was excellent. Which made it work best for us as a class. My biggest piece of evaluation would be to look more carefully at public school schedules when planning the course schedule to not have it fall during exams and the 1st week of the 2nd semester. Thanks for the learning, Lowry and Vaughn.
