“Outstanding course! I was able to take a great deal of information out of these lessons. I feel this was a great class to take as my first course in pursuing my Masters Degree. I would recommend this course to anyone!”
Jared Keaveny, Campbell, MN
“As an educator and coach for over 20 years and also as an activities director secretary for the past few years, I found Leading to Make a Difference both motivating and enlightening. Some of these videos should be shown to every employee of a school district, not just teachers and coaches and maybe even to the community as a whole. Many of the principles and ideas shared could be put to daily use by everyone in a community. It goes back to the old saying, “it takes a whole village to raise a child.” Many of the concepts and strategies discussed really caused me to think and reflect on not just my teaching and coaching, but just in dealing with today’s youth in general. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of children.”
Lisa Connell, Harlan, IA
“After twenty-five years of teaching, I am still learning! Leading to Make a Difference provided many ideas to improve the self-image, attitude, and responsibility of both teacher and student. Great lessons – great applications! Thanks!”
Mary Thompson, Sioux City, IA
“Leading to Make a Difference was a great class for beginning teachers clear up to veteran teachers. No matter how long you have been teaching this course challenges you to reflect on your current methods of teaching and determine what areas you can improve on to become a more effective leader.”
Andrew Fenstermaker, North Liberty, IA
“The course was great in many ways. First the structure and method of curriculum delivery fit into my very busy professional and personal life. I was able to gain great knowledge of strategies and concepts that will icrease me professionally on my own timeline. The curriculum gave me lessons and ideas that are practical and will actually work in my classroom and on the field. by ending the course with the making of an action plan, it gives you something to put in place at the present. This all based on strategies learned throughout the course, which makes for a very practical culminating activity that will be used.”
Patrick F. Fee, Weyauwega, WI
“This class was very informative. It offered many practical strategies that can be implemented easily and effectively. I would recommend this class to my peers.”
Shelly Baumgartner, Little Falls, MN
“Class was outstanding. 3rd class I have taken in your series and in each one of them I have used many ideas. ALL aspects of this class were excellent. I enjoyed all presenters and got a great amount of info that will help me be a better teacher/coach. Thank you. Outstanding course!”
Tom Chase, Weyauwega, WI
“I have really enjoyed this course. This is the first DVD course I have ever taken. I think it was well organized and thought out. I am a high school vocal music teacher and I have 27 years of teaching experience. Even with all of my experience the information provided has been and will be very helpful in my future teaching. I feel that my teaching has been quite successful, but with the help of this course I think my students and I will feel even more successful in the coming year!”
Tim Gansebom, Norfolk, NE
“This course was fun for me to complete. It was thought provoking and relevant to what I do for a living. It offers practical strategies that can be implemented immediately. The directions were clear and easy to understand so that there was no question about what was required to complete it.”
Julie Klein, Mitchell, NE
“I thought this course was incredibly beneficial. This course was much more “practical” than many other courses. The ability to implement what you’ve learned is fairly simple. The information is delivered in a very effective, clear and concise way. I’m not sure I can fully explain how much this course will have benefited me. I have so many new directions I would like to head in. It also made me rethink a lot of what I am currently doing.”
Kenyon Commins, Cincinnati, OH
“This course is an excellent way to earn college credit and earning it while you truly enhance yourself as a teacher or coach. The information in this course was informative, current, and transforming. I have benefitted from the information by allowing me to learn, enhance and improve as a teacher and coach. My kids noticed a difference too!”
Peter Waltz, Algona, IA
“I thoroughly enjoyed this graduate course. First of all, the way it was set up so that you can go at your own pace is excellent. You can watch the DVD’s on your own time, pause and take notes, making sure you get all the information down. I only wish I had taken this course many years ago, there is so much valuable information! It is truly something that should not just be available to graduate students! WOW!!
Patty Foley, Lima, OH
“I found this course to be very informative and thought provoking. Topics selected were very important and applicable to all teachers and coaches. This is one of the best courses I have taken. This course has made me more aware of my attitude and how it affects my students and players. I will definitely use concepts and tactics from this course in my classroom and in my coaching endeavors. Thank you for creating such a great class!”
Josh Nessa, Colo, IA
“This course was very interesting and informative. The lessons made me really think about how I’m currently teaching, what I want to change, and what I’d like to implement into my classroom. I have been discussing the ideas learned form this class, and I have definitely recommended it to my peers.”
Kari Fitzsimmons, Bonaparte, IA
“Leading to Make a Difference was my first course taken through Educational Resources. It was also my first ever video course. This course was a blessing! I found this material to be very relevant to the sports I coach and also easily transferred to the classroom in which I teach. In every video I watched, I found something “new” to add to my coaching and teaching “bag of tricks.” In addition to the excellent course content, it was a pleasure working with the staff at Educational Resources. I have recommended this course to a number of colleagues and will continue to look to Educational Resources for additional coursework.”
