"I enjoyed learning about virtual ways to apply GLAD to my teaching strategies. There were amazing poster examples I had seen throughout the years but being able to apply it to virtual teaching really makes a difference for my students in 5th grade."
"Great review for someone who went through the training six or seven years ago."
"Awesome visuals and engaging content. Kind and knowledgeable instructors. "
"Great team of professionals! "
"Each session was very organized! It is obvious that the facilitators are very passionate about GLAD! "
"Really good instructors!"
"Each facilitator was well versed in their presentation area. Good visuals. "
"I love the resources! Thank you! "
"It was great to get a refresher course on GLAD strategies. The recordings were helpful since K-2 went hybrid and we couldn't stay for all of the session. "
"Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructors"
"GLAD strategies are effective practices for all of our students. "
"The expertise in the GLAD team is outstanding. "
"Loved the different strategies which help students learn. The whole training was very well organized and the content was great!"

"Having pictures of GLAD strategies for reference. Sometimes google does a good job but being able to see examples to put in my binder would go a long way. Especially a first year teacher that hasn't been able to see every single one. Although the trainings did help, it would be hard to remember what the outcome has to be to be an effective strategy."
"Keep trying to make connections to hybrid schooling where the class is only half the size and students are 6 feet apart. Also students can’t be sharing the same materials."
"None. "
"I just wish we would have been able to do the PD in person!"
"More middle to high school level strategies. "
"In all this was a super helpful course! The content seemed to lean more toward elementary education. Maybe it was just the elementary teachers that shared out how they were applying what they learned in GLAD? "
"I would love to see more ideas for specialists to use in their classes when there is less time with classes. I love the training and am excited to eventually try to incorporate GLAD ideas into art."
"N/A"
"When the GLAD sessions started we were in distance learning. However, when K-2 went to hybrid, we were not able to participate synchronously. It would have been nice to move it either earlier to accommodate the change so that teachers could fully participate. "
"I understand zoom was a new format. It would've been nice to hear how the other teachers in the course were doing with implementation along the way. "
"Please continue bringing Make and Take Days. Great work!!"
"I would love to see a Glad demo when it is safe to provide one. I can't wait to learn more!"

"Is there a way or maybe a google slides that can be made where it has an example or a couple of examples per slide. This would make it easier to refer to if I'm stumped in the future without having to go into different classrooms and hopefully get what I want to take a picture of it. This would be like a digital album of GLAD strategies."
"None. "
"Will there be follow-up training in the future? Something like Phase 2?"
"N/A"
"How can GLAD support asynchronous instruction?"
"None"
"None!"
