“Excellent course that cuts right to the heart of facilitating collaborative learning. Laser-focused with a ton of resources.”

“For those struggling to identify effective group dynamics and establish accountability in those groups, regardless of the learning methodology being utilized, this course will enhance your tool belt and improve your confidence in eliciting meaningful and authentic learning from all students.”

Parker Collins, Teacher and Administrator

“This was one of the most productive asynchronous courses I've taken. It was a good mix of learning, examples, and taking action to help my class this week (or next). I want to review it again through the lens of adult learning to help me better shape professional learning for teachers at my school.”
