The course offered a rich collection of resources, including Common Core-aligned lessons, website links, classroom video examples, and strategies that integrate literacy, technology, and performance-based assessment. I highly recommend this course to other educators because it equips you with the tools and confidence to design engaging, relevant, and inquiry-driven learning experiences that promote 21st Century skills and meaningful student connections.

I am very much looking forward to having my third-graders use real world learning to deep their learning. It was an awesome class :)

This is the second class that I took with Dr Franks. She is very quick to grade assignments, grades fairly and gives good feedback. The projects are relevant and useful.

The class is very tedious and most of the assignments I think are busy work. However, some assignments were helpful.

I really enjoyed the class. It made me research a lot of good ideas I can easily use in my class this year. And, it gave me the explanations needed for why I should be adding in these ideas!

Picture Book Power was an extremely helpful course for me. It reassured me of what I was doing correctly and showed me what I needed to be reminded of or where attention is needed. I greatly enjoyed the assignments and relished the discovery of new picture books to share with my children. Thank you Tara Warmerdam for teaching such an awesome class!

This course was the perfect complement to Student Centered Learning (EDU 930). The text provides a great resource as will the toolkit you create in this class.
