Comments from Teachers

“I will implement new ideas and strategies in my classroom to build confidence and self-efficacy among my students. I will teach them HOW we learn and ensure that the classroom set-up encourages a brave community of individuals and leaders.”

“This course broadened my view of what self-regulation is and what it is for. I had a narrower view that only considered the emotional aspects and was not thinking of it as essential to the learning process in the way that it is.”
