"I was surprised since it wasn't listed on the course description to find that the course covered GLAD strategies and the WIDA tests. Majority of the course was on GLAD strategies. There was less than an hour to cover speaking skills and writing skills was not even covered. I would suggest that the course description in the future lets people know that GLAD strategies would be included or have it as another course. If it is covered, to spend less time on it and more time on speaking and writing skills. Also, have WIDA testing as separate course. "
"Maybe more teaching tools to teach our English learners students."

Comments:
Responses: 3"Unfortunately, we paras who work with small groups usually only have enough time to teach the curriculum we're given, and may not be able to use much of these strategies we learned. "
"The information was more suitable for teachers instead of paras. Paras do not design lessons. This comment does not reflect the instructors it reflects the unique position of each para."
"I signed up for the training for Reading and Listening and was very surprised that it had been switched for the Speaking and Writing. I could not go to the later training to attend the course I signed up for since I had already registered for a different course in the afternoon."
