Teacher Testimonial:
I had a desire to learn more about the literacy instruction, but was nervous about the workload since I am a teacher and a mom. Melissa facilitated this course in a way that made it completely doable and relevant to my classroom. She understands that we are still teachers, and she makes the content meaningful to our right now. I have learned so much about literacy instruction through my time completing KBR. If I have the chance to take a course with her again, I’d do it in a heartbeat! - Primary Educator
