I enjoyed the course! It had relevant information and I can apply what I have learned in my daily teaching method. VESi allowed me to complete the course on my own time and schedule. A great way to continue your education for people with busy schedules. Thank you!

This course was a great format for me. Having a full-time job and being the mother of four kids, I needed a course that I could complete either late at night or whenever I could plug into it during the day. Thanks for making this course fit into my crazy life and providing me with relevant information.

I love the variety of topics you have that are in the area of interest for a Guidance Counselor-so many classes are teacher-focused, so it`s great to have some for counselors too! Thanks!

I really enjoyed the course. It was one of the first online courses that I have taken, but I found it very challenging and I enjoyed the handouts and the fact that it forced me to question the reason behind some of the interventions and strategies that I used. I am an advocate of differentiation which is used a lot in DoDEA because we have so many students from different cultures, backgrounds, etc. I will definitely encourage my colleagues to try this course. Very well laid out!

I was a total newcomer to VESi but found it very helpful to be able to take the course at my own pace. I also appreciated the notes on the slides because I learn best by reading instead of listening. It catered to different learning styles. I also really like the practical application ideas in this class! I feel that I have a few more "tricks in my bag" to use when certain situations arise. Thanks!
