"I loved this class with Professor Sambroak. She gave us ample opportunities and time in class to think of the topics and how we’d approach scenarios in class. She brought creative and fun and EFFECTIVE ways that gave us a sense of what parents might be like in the classrooms and students might be like. She was extremely helpful and always there to answer any questions. Her SPED classes are one of the best ones I’ve had. I also loved the way we did these observations. She had a set school for us and we didn’t have to choose and plan it ourselves."

This class provided important avenues to take while trying to form, maintain and repair relationships with students and families.

There were moments that may have prevented me from completing assignments on time but once I communicated with the professor, she was very understanding. The course materials related to the course were presented in a timely manner. Feedback was always given and provided resources to follow up with the assignment.
