"This course was a real informative course. This course was a little different than other graduate courses I have taken due to the fact that I did everything on my own without having to contact the instructor. This was great because it allowed me the freedom to get the assignments done when I had the time. This course has already influenced me in the way I go about doing certain things in my classroom and conversations with my students and colleagues. I am glad that I decided to take this course and I am looking forward to taking more." -Malinda R., NE
"I loved the video approach! It was very refreshing versus sitting and reading a boring textbook. All of the presenters were clear and spoke at an appropriate pace. It really opened my eyes to the way I will respond to circumstances, communicate, set goals, carry a positive message, and creating an appropriate learning environment for my students. I will definitely take more classes." -Julie T., NE
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has been the best class I have taken since I graduated from college. It gave me valuable information that I could use immediately in my job. I will take so many things I learned from this course and apply them to my current position as a teacher and a coach. The format of this class was very good for my learning style as well. I also found the instructor to be VERY helpful and quick to respond to any question I had. I had a colleague recommend this course to me and I will definitely recommend it to other colleagues. Thank you very much for providing this opportunity!" -Josh L., IA

"Creating an Environment for Success" was another outstanding video course put together by Educational Resources. The videos are professionally produced and "jam packed" with some of the most current, practical, applicable, and useable information. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and look forward to using many of the ideas and much of the information in the upcoming school year. I highly recommend these courses for any educator or coach that wants to improve in their profession!" Roger R., IA
"I enjoyed the course. The content really related well tot he type of students I deal with at the Alt School. Motivation, self-esteem, and goal setting are all areas that my kids need work in. I liked the different approaches that were used by the instructors in the videos. This course was much more rewarding for me than others I've taken in the past. It met the needs and offered great advice and strategies on how to reach kids. I really could relate to a lot of the videos through experiences I've been through. I enjoyed taking the course and I'm looking forward to the next one." Tom Bardal, Cedar Falls, IA
