“The course was excellent with a lot of practical ideas for life. This was an excellent course for me to take in the summer to get 3 credit hours in a week. The information I received in this class, I will use in all aspects of my life. This is good for anyone to take. I enjoyed the variety used in this class. We had videos, guest speakers and small groups. I really enjoyed that the work you could get finished in class. This class was far and beyond any other grad level courses I have taken! It was not too far to drive to and the interaction with the other students has been great!”
Rebecca Geren, Central City, NE
“Taking this course is inspirational. Being able to hear from the experts during the course is great. It gives you great ideas you can take away and use in your classroom or in your coaching fields. Discussions are very interesting and I would recommend any of the Educational Resources courses to anyone. I know I will be taking more.”

“The course material and videos in this course provide great information and can be taken for immediate use. It teaches confidence, communication skills, positive attitude and the ‘what’s’ and ‘why’s’ of situations. The quality of this course is head and shoulders above other graduate courses I have taken. This course will last a life-time.”
Lance Howe, SD

“This is the best graduate class I have taken. The course is thought provoking, rigorous & practical for classroom use. The books we used/read were valuable for the classroom & life in general. It provided a great mix of philosophy & strategies. I am leaving thinking/reflecting on why I teach. I am also leaving with a kit of ideas, activities and strategies to assist student learning.”

“Content of course is right on target. If you aren’t motivated to change your life or the lives of others when you leave this class – you weren’t in the room. The quality of this course is superior by far!”
Nebraska Student
“This course should be mandated for all new teachers. The information given to all of us was not so much new, but very reinforcing. It pumped me up to try the new things I learned. I will definitely take more courses like this.”
Rich Parker, IA

“This course contains so much beneficial information and I am planning on buying most of the books. It allowed me to re-evaluate my life and things I do that I now want to change. I am very excited to try these concepts in my classes this fall. I now the knowledge I gained by taking this course will help me to be a better leader and educator. I will strongly recommend this course for fellow educators and I will be encouraging my family and friends to read, ‘Life’s Greatest Lessons.’ Great course!”

“Connecting With Today’s Youth is a very informative class which offers many new ideas and philosophies that can benefit every teacher in every classroom. Through a wide range of class activities, including small & large group discussions, a teacher will come away feeling confident that they can always find new ways to be more effective in their classroom.”
