“Thank you so much for creating another opportunity to challenge ourselves and for professional and personal growth! APP and DEO are the Real Deal!! You can’t walk out of the class without being energized and reflective! Thanks for taking risks in writing/creating/designing/dreaming these courses so you impact the excellence farther than you’ll ever know! You must keep Jack Guggenmos as an advocate for your courses!”
Bobbie Cox, Lincoln , NE
“Once again I thought Educational Resources hit a home run with the course Developing Excellence in Others. The variety of large group and small group discussions, along with motivational movies, real testimonials and positive interaction with peers creates a no-lose situation. The topics on motivation and mental training were especially effective, making this class a must for any teacher or coach who is looking for new ideas to strengthen their profession. Finally, having quality instruction is a must and, as in the past, Mr. Barry Wohler, lent his expertise and guidance to allow us to experience a wonderful week of class!”
Bart Hill, 4 th grade teacher, Lac Qui Parle Valley Schools,MN
“This was a very worthwhile course. I enjoyed the topics discussed, the instructors input (stories) but what I valued most of all is the input, ideas and strategies that the other class participants shared. I would definitely take another course such as this and highly recommend this course. The inspiration gained was both valuable in the classroom and on the playing field. The instructor had invaluable information and insights to share. Thank you for this opportunity.”
Greg Hadley, BBE Schools, 6th Grade teacher & Coach, MN
“I am truly grateful to the people that created this course. Very beneficial and will be very useful this coming year. It has helped me to see excellence in others. I am committed.”
Stan Erks, Asst. Jr. High Football Coach, Centennial Public School, MN
“The way the information was presented in this course is so very valuable. Topics were used from Achieving Peak Performance in my program. The topics covered in Developing Excellence in Others has taught me to be a better leader and motivator. Our instructor really loved what he was doing and enjoyed our class each day. He brought a very nice atmosphere to the class.”
Scott Jenson, Platteview High School
“I thought this was the best course that I have taken. It was enjoyable and beneficial to me as a teacher and coach. I will be able to implement ideas on motivation, communication and leadership into my classroom and on the wrestling team. I would love to take another course similar to this. In fact, I will take Achieving Peak Performance if and when it is offered again. Mr. Kavars did an excellent job of facilitating this course. He provided a classroom environment that was conducive to learning. I would like to take another course under his instruction.”
Bill Glenn, Teacher, Head Wrestling coach, New Hampton High School, IA
“Both courses have done an excellent job of helping me shape and mold my philosophies of teaching and coaching. They were challenging, encouraging and fun. Most of all they have given me the confidence to know that I am doing things the best way that I can and that is the right way to go about business.”
Corey McKinnon, Forest Lake, MN
“I was fortunate enough to have taken Achieving Peak Performance two summers ago. I felt it was an awesome course. Developing Excellence in Others is a tremendous follow up course. Many of the topics covered in the two courses are so relevant in the coaching and teaching profession. You cannot help but to use the information in your daily life regardless of the area. The atmosphere is very conducive to sharing and learning. I can’t think of a better way to learn than by sitting with your peers for five days and discussing different concepts of how to achieve success. I would highly recommend both of these courses regardless of your profession.”
Jim Stewart, Coach/Teacher, Sumner-Fredericksburg- Jr.-Sr. Comm. Schools, IA
“I enjoyed the class with all the different activities, videos and group work. It opened my eyes on some topics and issues. This is the 2nd class I have taken from you and I will take another in the future.”
Virg Polak, Watertown, SD
“What an excellent class! This is the second class I have taken. Both have challenged me to become a better teacher, a better coach and a better person. I would recommend these courses to anyone.”
Garry Sigle, Manhattan, KS
“Developing Excellence in Others class was a very interesting and worthwhile class because you can actually use what was being taught. A lot of times classes you take you can’t use in your class but this class was different. The leadership skills and motivational skills that were shared were outstanding. The structure of the class was conducive and learner friendly. The open environment and classroom setting with people sharing their ideas was very good and made the class very interesting. Also the videos that we used helped enhance what was being taught in class.”
Bob Horner, 8th grade social studies teacher, Mason City Community Schools, IA
“This was one of the best classes I have ever taken to help me improve my teaching and coaching skills. The class information is relevant to what we do daily. Jack Guggenmos did an outstanding job of presenting the materials in an interesting manner.”
Ann Prince, NE
“I loved it. I came away with many good ideas to take with me as a teacher, coach and father!”
Tim Carlson, Bloomington, MN
“Developing Excellence in Others is an excellent course which reaches many needs for coaches and teachers. It is a thinking and sharing class. The topics are varied and relevant to working with today’s youth. It is a wonderful way to learn new things, reinforce already used methods, and explore educational topics with colleagues in a relaxed setting. Guest speakers, videos, small and large group settings, role-playing, and manageable readings made the class fun! My expectations for this class were exceeded!”
Dave Rosenbaum, Tri County High School , Social Studies teacher/Jr. High Coach, DeWitt, NE
“Developing Excellence In Others was one of the best courses I have taken. I believe in relating actual experiences to the topics discussed and we had an abundance of that. Our instructor was organized yet flexible and allowed the class to move in their own direction when feasible.”
