California Education Institute

Evaluation responses from LAUSD teachers:

-- "I really enjoyed your class and learned things that I never
knew about those days in early California.  You are an excellent
instructor and I enjoyed the lively discussions that took place
those two days.  I also liked how you did not talk down to us, but
treated us like intelligent people.  That’s something that LAUSD
does not do too often."


-- "The lecture was most helpful to me because of the
professor's extensive knowledge base of California history. I
now have more respect for the people who endured hardships
during the early years of California."


-- "I don't teach history. However, i think that this workshop has
totally changed my view about Hispanic Americans and their role
in the history of California."


-- "This class should be required for all 4th grade teachers"


-- "I have to say that this was the most informative and enjoyable
class I have taken.  I am sure that my love for history helped but
i found the style (lecture/discussion) very engaging.

-- "This is the best professional development class I have taken, by far, because we actually focused on content instead of pedagogy, pedagogy, pedagogy!"
