"I thought the course "Inspire Learning" was a very informative class that anyone in a leadership position could use. It was validating to know that much of what I use in the classroom has been proven to be successful. The strategies were valuable, and it was easy to relate them to any area of the classroom or coaching situations. I acquired several new techniques from this course that will be productive and useful in any leadership role I continue to be in. I felt like this class was "hands on", and truly related to those in any area of education." Kay F., IA
"I thoroughly enjoyed this class! The format of this book was probably my favorite of the book courses I have taken. Not only was there a thorough description of each strategy, but the chapters were mainly teacher-friendly, classroom applicable lessons that could easily be adapted to our own curriculum. The take-away that I have from this class is fabulous! I am already developing a list of ideas on how to incorporate more Green Light Teaching methods." -Tricia W., IA
"I really enjoyed this class. Some of the green light strategies make sense and are very easy to implement. I think that this course was very tailored to the classroom setting and I loved all the lesson plan examples. I liked the fact that the plans ran the whole spectrum of grades and wasn't just examples of elementary. Anyone should be able to take one of the ideas and adapt it to fit their own class. This course will benefit me in leadership because I would now feel comfortable teaching some of these strategies to my colleagues." Kim Gile, Oskaloosa, IA
"This course was wonderful! It was interesting, and allowed me to learn something new at my own pace. Great ideas from some real-life classrooms!" Andrea Ingersoll, Crookston, MN
"This course, like all of Educational Resources courses, is highly structured and makes an educator become more aware of their daily routines and interactions with the students. The coursework is logically presented and organized in a manner that is virtually impossible to become confused with! Objectives are clear and easy to follow. Keep the courses coming!" Mike Mazurkiewicz, Maple Heights, OH
"As a working Mom with two young children, Educational Resources of MN has allowed me to complete graduate courses at my convenience. The book study courses are easy to follow and provide ample amount of information to use in my classroom. Thank you for making getting credits easy and enjoyable." Jennifer Downing, Lewistown, OH
"I really enjoyed this Green Light Classrooms course! The chapters in the book were intriguing, stimulating and provide great examples of both red light and green light classroom strategies. I found it easy to take the examples and to apply them to my Spanish classes. It was refreshing to gain new ideas and this course offered me an opportunity to be self-reflective and creative at the same time. I would highly recommend this course to those looking to learn immediate ways to jump-start their teaching. Being not only a Spanish teacher, but also the coordinator for our World Language Department, I envision taking what I have learned and sharing it with my colleagues with the hope of encouraging more Green Light Classrooms in our school!" Daria Cayne, Beachwood, OH
"I have found the course, Inspire Learning, to be very valuable to my teaching. It has provided me with the necessary tools to be a "Green Light" teacher in my classroom. Of all the courses I have taken, I would say that this has been among the best. I liked how the book provided real examples and lessons. The strategies were very useful and applicable to my current teaching role. I am excited to put the strategies I have learned here to use with my students. I think they will see a difference with my teaching. They will be more engaged, have more fun, and remember more information from my class when I implement these strategies with them. I have thoroughly enjoyed taking this course!" Amanda Strayer, Lewistown, OH
"This course was very valuable to me! I benefited as both a teacher and a coach. It was nice to have a fresh reminder of how important it is to not get stuck in a rut with teaching or become a 'red-light' teacher. I look forward to the many new activities I can use with my students this fall! I will for sure look for more courses through this program." Brandi McCarter, Elm Creek, NE
"This course was an excellent way for me to continue my education while substitute teaching. It provided many great examples and ideas that I look forward to using in future classrooms." Heidi Ostrem
