Hello! My name is Shraddha and I am a high school teacher. I am interested in maxing out on the salary table for my district, and I saw this course posted and recommended on the UTLA Member Professional Development Group. It seemed like a good fit as it is self-paced and deals with emotional intelligence. I hope to obtain two things: some strategies to use with my students and a salary point.
