“I would recommend this course to any educator. I appreciated the convenience of the video format so that I could work the course into my busy schedule when I had time. the course was well-rounded, covering a good variety of topics. I also found it to be much more ‘practical’ than other courses I have taken; so many others are presented by people with an unrealistic view or people far removed from the classroom. This course examined real issues and offered real solutions. Thank you.”
Kristen Worm, Brodhead, WI
“The course was great. The best course I’ve taken so far. Very beneficial to my job as coach and teacher. I’d take another course in a heartbeat.”
Meghan Sullivan, Cincinnati, OH
“This class might be one of the most useful and practical classes that I’ve enrolled in. Much of the information presented can be applied throughout a wide array of educational spectrums. I intend to incorporate many of the strategies and concepts that were presented. I highly recommend to anyone the opportunity to take a video course through Educational Resources of MN, LLC.”
Kevin Miller, Solon, IA
“I feel that this was by far the best class that I have taken prior to or after graduating from college. The information presented during this course is very helpful to me as both a teacher and coach. I don’t think there was one concept that stood out above the rest; I found that all of them contained very useful information. I will definitely look into other courses offered by Educational Resources. This was the first video course that I have taken. I found that it was easier for me to do, because I could work on it at my own pace when I had time. That in itself was very important to me because of my hectic schedule.”

“I have enjoyed this course because it has taught an old dog a few new tricks, confirmed many ideas and concepts that I have been successfully using, and also opened my eyes to see things from a different angle or point of view. In each lesson, I came away with a few ideas and concepts that can easily be applied or adapted to my present situation as a teacher, coach and athletic director.”

“I think Leading to Make a Difference is the perfect class to take before beginning the new school year. It’s positive and motivational techniques and strategies will be easy to implement into my classroom. It makes one realize that positive impact our teaching can have on the lives of children. I will use many of the ideas and am anxious to read some of the inspirational books suggested. I would recommend this course to anyone.”
Pam Ray, Blair, NE
“I have now taken three of your courses and have enjoyed all three. It was nice taking a video course because i could do the work in my own time and at my own pace. I also felt that the concepts and strategies offered were learned at a deeper level because I had to do all of the work on my own. So, there was definitely a lot of learning that took place. This was an excellent class and I will tell other teachers and coaches that this is and that it’s a great way to earn three college graduate credits.”
Lonna Wanner, Aberdeen, SD
“I enjoyed this course because the content was immediately applicable to my situation and I could move through the information at my own pace. I particularly enjoyed the videos and articles that dealt with concepts and ideas that could be applied to the daily routine of rehearsals. This course helped me re-evaluate my role as a leader. I realized that most of the work I need to do to become a Master Coach has to do with placing an emphasis on developing better people. I look forward to taking another video course.”

“I enjoyed the course and thought it was very practical and beneficial. I have been in my current position for 24 years and have been coaching for 32 years. I always enjoy learning and being challenged. This course succeeded in doing just that. I would certainly consider taking another video course because this one was so practical.”
Curt Carlson, Firth, NE
“I took all three of the video courses. I found all of the videos to be full of fact, concepts, methods, and strategies that will be helpful. I wanted to share the information and create discussion, so I invited my wife to view the videos with me. She also coaches and said she would implement strategies talked about in the course. I will encourage my friends who are coaches and school officials to consider taking the courses. I wish you continued success and look forward to the next course.”
Tony DeLeon, Esko, MN
“Leading to Make a Difference was a great course filled with great information for any coach or teachers to use in their current practice or classroom. The course kept my focus with great speakers and challenged my thinking with their great questions. I felt that this course is a great refresher course for long time coaches and teachers and a great aid for new coaches and teachers.”
Matt Dyer, Glenwood Community Schools
“This course was a very good choice for me to take this summer. I was able to take this course and still conduct all my summer activities. The content of this class was very good, it was presented in a very professional way, was very clear and had a good manner to follow. I learned a lot of different ideas to benefit me in my teaching, coaching and my athletic director position. I would rank this course in the upper third of all the graduate courses I have taken.”
Dennis Ziegenhorn, Pekin, IL
“I felt this course was amazing. After watching each video or lesson, I would look forward to the next one. The content was excellent and dealt with situations, ideas, problems, philosophies and suggestions which I felt would help in my teaching and coaching The lessons on motivation were the most appealing to me. I also liked the thoughts on the ROle of Parents as presented by Mr. Brown. The points discussed will definitely become a part of my ‘first meeting of the year’ thoughts with the parents of my athletes. I would definitely take another course like this one. The convenience of taking the course at home on my own time was definitely a plus.”

“I learned about this course from another teacher that I met in the summer of 2007 while taking another continuing education course. When giving me the information regarding this course he stated, ‘This may be one of the best courses you will take.’ After completing the course, I would have to agree! I am reminded of what I learned in this course on a daily basis. I therefore am also applying what I learned on a daily basis. This course has assisted me in being a better coach as well as a better teacher.”
