Debora Supplitt provided prompt, professional, helpful feedback. She was encouraging, and her feedback helped add depth to the lessons and examples that I prepared as a part of this course. I have currently been using lessons that I prepared during this course in my classroom. I appreciate the relevance of the "Caldecott" continuing education class.
