“I learned so many things from this course. It was so practical and had so many hands-on ideas that I am already using in my classroom. I became so encouraged and motivated to be the best teacher that I can be from listening to the motivational speakers on the videos. The bottom line is to work hard, be passionate about what you do, and love the kids in your classroom. It was very much worth it to me to take this course!”
Barb Shaffer, West Unity, OH
“Creating an Environment for Success was an excellent course. I enjoyed taking this video course not only because I could do the coursework on my own schedule and in the comforts of my own home, but also because the content was both informative and inspirational. It provided very practical and real world methods, examples, and ideas that can be implemented into any teaching and coaching. This is the first video course I have taken but will most definitely take another course.”
Lisa Connell, Harlan, IA
“Creating an Environment for Success is a class that challenges you to think outside of the box. The skills a teacher has are important but maybe even more important is the environment and atmosphere that they create to teach in everyday. The class provides ideas that can be incorporated at all grade levels. It provides real life examples and lists resources for extended learning.”
Andrew Fenstermaker, North Liberty, IA
“I really enjoyed the class. I gained so much new information/resources provided by this course that I can’t wait to use in my class. This class will help me as a teacher tremendously. I have a better understanding of teenagers, and many new useful tools to use.”
Toni Andreasen, Kearney, NE
“The presentations in this course helped me understand how important it is to evaluate the classroom environment. Students and athletes perform better if given the opportunity to learn in an energetic venue. I have already started to implement some of the ideas shared by the presenters in this course. I am looking forward to trying out some of these activities in 2011/12!”
Josh Miller, York, NE
“I am very encouraged after taking the course, Creating an Environment for Success! I am excited to go back to my classroom and try these strategies with my students. After teaching for over 20 years, it is refreshing to be both reaffirmed with what I am doing, and to find many new ideas to use in my classroom.”
JoAnne Brademeyer, Lewistown, OH
“I was very impressed with this course. The videos and lessons were very inspirational and gave easy ideas that could be incorporated into my classroom whatever grade level I will be teaching. I appreciated the pacing of the class at my own discretion and the combination of short answer with application questions. I will be taking more of these classes in the future for my elective credits. Thank you for a meaningful class that didn’t add stress to my already busy life!”
Jill Geissler, Mason City, IA
“The course was as enjoyable and to the point as the previous ones. The instructors were highly qualified and learner friendly. Many new concepts and ideas were presented. These will be valuable through my last 2 1/2 years. I would and have recommended this to my colleagues!”

“This course was very motivational and gave me many great ideas to improve myself and my classroom. I have taken other courses through Educational Resources of MN and this one is just as good as the others.”
Valorie Bila, Douglas, WY
“This course was very practical and relevant. It emphasized concepts that are very real and useful – simple concepts that are necessary and appear everyday in education but don’t always have a simple solution. It’s a great class to take to reaffirm, make anew, and recharge during the summer.”
Cindy Carlson, Minden, NE

Jennifer Downing, Lewistown, OH

Christine Bell, Waterford, MI
“The course was very informative and gave me many easily implementable ideas that I will be able to use right away in my classes. This course is much more practical and useful than many of my other graduate classes I have taken. This class was very enjoyable, too. I will be able to implement many of the ideas in my role as teacher to create an environment for success. But, there also were ideas that I will be able to share with my peers that should improve our working relationships also.”
