“This is one of the best profesional development classes I have ever attended. Anytime you can get a wide array of teaching and coaching professionals together to share their experiences and ideas you have a recipe for success.”
Terry Anderson, Waubay, SD
“I drove over an hour and a half one way each day to take this class. I can honestly say that it was worth every mile. I was given information and ideas that I will use immediately. I found myself calling assistant coaches and fellow teachers each night telling them about some ‘new’ idea or thought that I had picked up that day. I am excited to take more classes next summer.”
Donnie Sears, Sidney, IA
“An inspiring opportunity to share with fellow educators. I am glad that I took the class and am looking forward to next summer’s offerings.”
Rachel McCurdy, Sherwood, OH
“The course was fantastic. It gave me strategies I can actually use in my classroom! I now feel I can walk into my classroom the first day of school and begin with team building activities – this is an area I really struggled wtih in the past. I would recommend this class to every educator. It helped to put the goals of being a teacher back into perspective.”
Diane Mueller, Moravia, IA
“This is a great course and should be something that is taught in every school or at least every teacher education program. Developing Excellence in Others gets to the core of teaching and coaching and offers practical techniques that can be implemented in the classroom or on the field of play.”
Wade Miller, Fairbary, NE
“This is absolutely the most relevant and worthwhile class I’ve ever taken. The number of things I’ve taken from this class – from the materials/videos, guest speakers & class discussions are invaluable. I would absolutely take another class like this. The course content was incredibly relevant and actually useful! I can’t wait to use these things in my classes, with my students, teaching peers and family. Not only will this make me a better teacher, I truly believe it will make me a better person.”
Linda Rischling, Chadron, NE
“I heard this was an excellent class from other teachers. Wow! This was beyond excellent. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a class with so much student input and so much openness. I also have learned so much that I can actually take these ideas and philosophies back to the classroom. I think we’ve all been empowered as leaders from taking this class!”
Christina Risner, Defiance, OH
6th Grade Math/Science
“Developing Excellence In Others, was a great vacation from your typical summer course. This course was packed with ideas, inspirations and game plans for both coaches and teachers. The material was presented in such a manner to have immediate impact and elicit long lasting results.”
Stacy Lasswell, Emmett, KS
“These courses should be required for students before they student teach in college and graduate. This information should be shared before anyone has their own classroom or team of any kind. Outstanding class.”
Scott Jones, Aurora, NE
“This course was awesome. The information provided was good, but what was outstanding was the communication among the students. The learning from other teachers and coaches was very helpful. We became a family for a week. There was lots of humor, sharing, and even a few tears. Even after a long week, it was never a drag to go or stay until the end. Great class, great instructor, great group!”
Cheryl Schier, Paulding, OH
Teacher – English/Speech Middle School
“This course was great! I am a 4th grade teacher and there were several things that I am taking from this class to use in my classroom. I am not a coach of a team, but I hopefully coach my students to be the best they can be.”
Dawn Sikes, York Elementary, NE
“Absolutely the best class I have ever taken. The material used and information presented is so exciting, practical and resourceful. Thank you for sharing all you know and helping/teaching me to be a better person. Many people, I hope… I know, will benefit from me taking this class.”
Laurie Hatch, Crete, NE
“This is the best course I have ever taken in terms of enjoyment, sharing and life issues in education and athletics.”
Bill Lammers, Defiance, OH
“This is the best post graduate class that I’ve taken. I found the class stimulating and interesting with information that I can use now. I will definitely incorporate many of the things I learned in this class in my professional life and everyday living.”
Dennis Bogarz, Pulaski, WI
“Excellent course for any teacher/coach! I wish classes like this would have been available 15 years ago when I started teaching and coaching. Class provided so much insight to what we deal with on a daily basis in our classroom and practice field.”
