Impact on Teaching Practice

An overwhelming majority of survey respondents over the years have told us that the course has helped them to improve their practice. Educators typically cite improvements in curricular or lesson design and in reaching and motivating students.

In describing changes that occurred since the course, many educators described enhanced ability to think, evaluate, or reflect on their practice. Many talked about improved collaboration with their colleagues, which aided both lesson design and implementation as well as emergence of the shared understanding of learning goals and processes across the school.
