I learned so much taking this course and some things were a much needed review. I feel refreshed and more cognitive about the valuable strategies that students need and are counting on me to provide. Nothing can be more frustrating (for both student and teacher) than being overwhelmed by the reading of content-area materials. This course helped me refocus my teaching and I realize how valuable"writing to learn" is.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Professor Bonnie was very professional and helpful. The information that I gained will help me in the future when I try to help students fully comprehend. reading passages. I was impressed with the overall speed of grading and answers to my questions. I would definitely recommend this course to any teacher who is looking to improve their game in the classroom.

I am in my fifth year of teaching. This course really opened up the connections between current research and our own policy and curriculum shifts within my school. This class is invaluable for elementary teachers who desire to grow as educators.

A good course for resources for expanding content literacy for our students. The online "Moodle" is not very user friendly.

I was hoping that taking a graduate level course for professional development would offer current research, engage the class in professional conversations, and include best practice information that could be taken back to the classroom. What I got was a course with an overwhelming syllabus filled with numerous assignments of reading the book and articles, writing too many lesson plans, reflections, and responding to others, as well as a powerpoint. It was frustrating because there never was a sense of "threaded conversation" taking place. It was surprising that the assigned articles and the text (copyright 2007), had such outdated research (much of it from 1998-2004). This course would be better suited for undergraduates or new teachers.

I learned a lot of teaching ideas in this course, but the assignments were excessive. I worked much longer on this course than I have on any other courses I have taken from Fresno.
