Your colleagues have said... [Please italicize the testimonials.] 
"This will give me a good starting point for designing a STEELS unit and for tweaking assessments to showcase more thinking and less memorizing." 

"I learned how to find helpful information from various sources, how to "bridge gaps" between what students already know versus the next step they need to learn, and how to contact various people within the TIU to access trainings and resources."  

"I was able to gain new perspectives and ideas from various people and physical resources in the training that will positively engage the students, and keep them interested in the topics being covered."
