“I really enjoyed this class. All of the materials were very interesting and enjoyable. The videos were very informative and gave me many great ideas to use next year. I loved the text book, it was a fast and fun read.”
Kim Hawkenson, Long Prairie, MN
“I love taking all of these courses. They all provide such useful information that could have been used in my first few years of teaching in a mentoring program. I always gain one or two big ideas to try and work on after taking these courses, this course in particular provided me with great insight on how I can be a better teacher. Thank you for offering these courses, I will continue to take them in the future.”
Meghan Sweeney, Hingham, MA
“Teacher Toolbox 201 had a variety of presentations that were engaging, thought-provoking and beneficial. I learned a lot from taking this course and can easily apply what I learned into my job as a guidance counselor.”
Mandy Tidwell, Lewistown, OH
“I very much enjoyed taking this course. It was full of great ideas and strategies. The videos were interesting as was the text. I found many things that I can take back with me to my classroom.”
Jan Pederson, Long Prairie, MN
“This course was great because there was a lot of information that you could take directly from a video and start it the next day. It was all real life stuff that does not take a lot of work to do just some thought and effort.”
Amy Engle, Fairbury, NE
“After teaching for over 10 years, Teacher Toolbox 201, has enhanced my learning in so many unique ways. I am definitely a better educator from taking this course. The information is practical, innovative, and inspiring. I would highly recommend this course to any teacher. It provides many powerful insights to become an outstanding teacher for all students in a positive manner.”
Sheila Schultz, Plymouth, MN
“First and foremost, I would like to say how much I enjoyed this course. I just completed my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction in March, and I can honestly say I enjoyed this course so much better simply because so many of the things the videos talked about I could easily adapt and implement into my very own classroom. As teachers, we are always looking for fresh ideas that are manageable and practical – and these certainly were. This course will definitely benefit me in the future! In fact, I am planning on implementing a few of the traditions NOW even though it is the end of the year. That is how much I valued what I have learned throughout this course. In fact, I plan on signing up for another video course!”
Jordann Aler, Lewistown, OH
“I very much enjoyed this course. It was full of useful information and little fluff, which is a refreshing contrast to the reputation of many education courses. The course is appropriately named…it truly gave me practical tools that I can use to make my classroom function smoothly and to keep students on task and engaged.”
Rachael Earley, Lebanon, OH
“This is the 3rd course I have taken from Educational Resources and I always feel like I have actually picked up something useful to either use in my classroom or in my coaching. I like the ability to work at my own pace, and I truly cannot think of a lesson I’ve done in the three classes that I have not gotten something from. I know I cannot say that about every graduate level class I have ever taken. I will continue to do classes through your organization as long as you continue to offer them.”
Kelly Krueger, Norfolk, NE
“Teacher Toolbox 201 provided me with essential information on how I can motivate myself and my students on a daily basis. The book that was used forced me to step back and really evaluate my current teaching practices. The book was written from students perspectives on different topics including classroom management, labels, building relationships, and meeting the needs of various learning styles. This book was a wonderful aspect of the course because it covered a wide array of topics while showcasing how vast of an impact teachers have on the lives of their students.”
Julie Lammer, Dubuque, IA
“Bob Fink’s Toolbox Series is a ‘must see’ for every serious educator. As an elementary principal, I am often engaged in conversations surrounding student achievement and success in the classroom. While instructional focus on curriculum is critical to student achievement – student motivation, personal engagement, and activities that promote real-life skills as described in the Toolbox Series are equally critical to student success and achievement! This philosophy along with a solid foundation in curriculum and instruction will make a classroom teacher virtually unstoppable in helping each student to be successful and will ensure a gratifying experience as an educator.”
Ranae Case Evenson, Anoka-Hennepin School District
“This course provided me with many strategies and ideas on how to become a better teacher, mentor, encourager and friend. I enjoyed this course and felt that all the materials included were worthy of reading or watching. Compared to other graduate level courses, I liked this course more and have implemented more of the strategies and ideas. Taking a course from Educational Resources is enjoyable because I can do it when I have time, but I felt compelled to continue to work and find out about the next lesson. I would encourage others to take this video course.”
Jenny Adair, Perry, IA
“I thought this course was great! The materials are easy to understand. The techniques and strategies can easily be incorporated into classrooms of any age. This course incorporated theories with solutions. Some courses focus too much on theory, but do not give any ideas on what you can do in your own classroom. This course will help me motivate my students and co-workers. I would highly recommend this course to any teacher needing some new ideas to get their students motivated and have fun in their classroom.”
Liz Roe, Perry, IA
“This is my third course I have taken from Educational Resources. I have picked up another set of valuable strategies and learned many more self-help strategies. The classes offered by Educational Resources are by far more valuable and enjoyable than any I have taken from any other college institution. It is practical and very relative to my classroom.”
Kathleen Ayers, New Hampton, IA
“I thought Teacher Toolbox 201 was very beneficial to me in my role as a teacher and a varsity coach. The lessons were very informative and I liked the real classroom examples. It was another great course offered by Educational Resources of MN and I am glad I took it.”
