Key Takeaways or Advice
Students did great presentations and products. I can share all of them with you. My students are freshmen, so they were new to these kind of strategies. They needed a lot of support and guidance, but that is something I was prepared for. They gained confidence, stepped outside their comfort zone, and learned a lot of skills necessary to be successful in life. Not easy, but worth it!
