Ratings and Reviews
Good online training program.
This is a great course. It demonstrates lesson plan very clearly and instructs me to make my own lesson plan. Now i really know a lesson plan includes lesson objectives , warm up activity, objective discussion, instructions, models, guided practice and independent practice and assessment. Thank you very much!
Design and assess effectively is challenging, the course is really enriching and provides diverse examples and tips, thanks for that.
