"This was the best graduate course I have taken. The materials used and the methods of presentation were very stimulating. I have taught and coached for 31 years. This course needs to be given in some form to 1st year teachers and coaches. The ideas and passion of the speakers, videos, other students, and instructors are invaluable to estimate. This course has rejuvenated me for the rest of my educational life. This course is about caring, motivating and inspiring our students. It would be a tremendous boost to anyone involved in education. I believe Superintendents, school board members, and other peripheral individuals should take this course."
