COHORT PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK

LEVEL 1
Cassie Johnson Grand River Preparatory High SchoolGoogle Certified Educator Level 1

"I loved getting my Level 1 certification with Lissa! The course makes it so easy to stay on track and learn the essentials! The Google Classroom was incredibly easy to follow and, after taking the test, I realized how suited each assignment was to our success on the test. I felt like it was a breeze with all that I had learned. I got personalized feedback and encouragement throughout the course, which really made me feel motivated to keep going. I am so glad that I chose to take the course instead of pursuing the certification on my own."

South Canton ScholarsGoogle Certified Educator Level 1

"My Level 1 experience was amazing. I was given the work ahead of time so that I was able to pace myself. The work is explained clearly and the feedback from Lissa was greatly appreciated. If you missed something, the comments were constructive and the work was easy to adjust. The work load was not overwhelming! The tasks were easy to complete."
