“ My favorite thing about teaching is allowing every single student access to learning. Teaching with Amplify is being proved wrong that students would find it difficult to build knowledge. One hundred percent proven wrong! My students can't get enough knowledge. Whatever unit we're on they want more. One example with Ancient Roman Civilization, students checked books out about Italy. They became obsessed whether Julius Caesar was a traitor or a hero. That debate alone lasted three days. If I am 100% invested, the students are as well. ”
