It's always great to learn from other teachers and receive feedback from teachers regarding what works well for them in an effort to provide best practices for the students we teach.

Steve is an amazing instructor. I get more out of his courses than courses I have taken from other programs. I like that he treats his students like adults as he facilitates instruction.
