Teaching To Impact Lives

  • “Teaching to Impact Lives has been a course that not only addresses issues we face as teachers/coaches every year, but also creates a path for resolution. I have enjoyed formatting and restructuring what I do as I have progressed through the phases of the course. The ideas and theories were made easy to understand and follow; motivating me to implement them immediately. Thank you for preparing a course that addresses ‘real life’ issues.”

  • “I enjoyed the convenience of taking the video course. It allows me time to teach, coach, spend with my family, and take the class on my schedule. Also, the subject matter is always a good jump start and boost for me during the school year.”
    Jim Appl, Aberdeen, SD

  • “This fall I have taken two courses – Leading to Make a Difference and Teaching to Impact Lives. I enjoyed both courses. The lessons were interesting and applicable. The speakers were outstanding. One advantage of taking a video class is you have the opportunity to stop and replay something that was not clear to you. These two courses gave me some new ideas and an understanding of how I can do a better job of teaching and coaching. I looked forward to coming home after school and watching these videos. The videos were motivating, informative and gave me something I can use. I have gained valuable insight into some practical strategies that I can use on the athletic field as well as the classroom.”
    Larry Niemeyer, Cedar Rapids, IA

  • “I thought that this course was very beneficial to me in my role as a guidance counselor. The lessons were interesting and applicable.

  • “After completing the course Teaching to Impact Lives, I feel like I have gained some very valuable insight into some strategies that studies have shown to be effective in improving student performances in school.

  • “I have taken five courses from Educational Resources over the past three years. They have been life changing for me. I would highly suggest if you care about kids and have a passion to get better, that you take these courses. These courses will change the way you coach, teach, and even parent.”
    Scott Starkweather, Orange City, IA

  • “I really enjoyed taking this course. This is the first course of this type that I have taken and I plan to take more! I gained a lot of useful information that I can use in my classroom. Throughout the videos, I was reminded why I chose to go into teaching…not for my expertise in science, but because I really care about kids and helping kids develop into quality adults. The flexibility of the course was wonderful. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity.”

  • “This course has offered me practical strategies that I will be able to use in my teaching. The videos were extremely interesting, educationally stimulating, and very down to earth.”
    Carol Ellenwood, Kearney, NE

  • “This course has been a very valuable piece of professional development. Many classes are full of theory that is not practical for everyday use in the classroom. This video course was full of great ideas to take directly to the classroom. I like the fact that the course is based on positive, tried and true success principles. I recommend this course to others regularly.”
    Jim Chatel, Evart, MI

  • “I think this is an excellent course. I enjoyed the lessons, videos and readings. The content of the course is excellent. Anyone working with kids should be able to learn something from the course that they could use. This course information will help me do a better job as a teacher, counselor and coach. I would gladly take another course like this one.”

  • “I took this course at the same time as Leading to Make a Difference. I was able to finish both classes in 3 weeks while teaching full time. The classes were so well put together with motivating speakers and worthwhile information that I found myself being motivated as I worked on them. I’m looking forward to your next class.”

    Kathy Gibson, Issaquah, WA

  • “By taking this course, I feel that I have learned many new ideas and techniques that I could use in my classroom and on the playing field. I feel that I have new eyes as a coach and a teacher. It is great to know there is so much more to learn. I felt that the course content was excellent. I was able to follow very easily and was not rushed to get the work done. This course ranks #1 among my other graduate courses that I have taken because it has been so easy to follow and not a burden on me. I would definitely be interested in taking another course like this one again. It was so well organized and very beneficial to my coaching/teaching career. I am thankful this class and for the information I received to make me a better person.”

In each of the lessons I came away with new ideas and concepts that are proven and can be easily applied or adapted to any teaching or coaching situation.
