“This course is an excellent way to add value to the classes you teach. I found many useful ideas and concepts that address ways to incorporate leadership skills, goals and teamwork within the classroom. This course has given me ideas of how to go beyond the material covered in the class and use them to help prepare students for their future. Teaching to Impact Lives is a class that can be used by many teachers on many levels.”
John Cleaver, Oshkosh, WI
“I thought the course was great. It was very informative and thought provoking. Every lesson related directly to your teaching or coaching roles so it was almost immediately useful. Being able to do the lessons at your own pace was great. You were always able to work on a lesson and stop and go back to later if needed. Excellent courses as I have now completed all 3!”
Mike Weddingfeld, Ankeny, IA
“I truly enjoyed this video course. It will help me tremendously in my classroom because the course was full of great ideas and the presenters were very motivational. Even though I took the course at the end of the school year, it rejuvenated my attitude towards teaching for those last few weeks. I really liked that the material was based on positive ideas and principles and that real-world examples were given. I’m looking forward to taking my second video course.”
Camela Hill, Centerville, IA
“This course gave wonderful insight to the mental condition you and your student need to be in to successfully learn new skills and strategies. The ability to pause, discuss and think about what was said in the video was great. Thank you for putting together such a great class.”

“I thought the course was excellent. Many of the concepts presented are ones we take for granted every day with our students. It is good reinforcement to have the concepts brought to light, in a course, to have us rethink our strategies. Many times we need an upgrade in our plans and this information was a great help. I will definitely take another course.”
Patricia Smith, Rochester, PA

“The most beneficial thing about this course was the distance learning feature. Being a very busy teacher and parent, it helps to be able to grow professionally with type of course. The content of the material can be applied to any discipline or activity.”
Catherine Lechtenberg, Centerville, IA
“This course was very good. All of the material is directly applicable to a classroom or athletic environment. The non-stressful set up is great. You give plenty of time to complete the course. I loved the content presented by Bruce Brown. His positive conditioning video was awesome! This course is a great way to get ready to go into the season with a positive mental attitude and with new ideas to use with my team. I would love to take another video course.”

“I am taking 3 of your courses this summer and they all support each other. I think the material is important and presented professionally and I like the way it is set up. The presenters make their comments specific and point out wonderful stories and examples to support their beliefs. I think all of the subject area are important and all the information is very usable in the classroom and in a team situation. I really think parents should watch the video ‘Coaching the Athletes’ Parents.’ I have been frustrated by the “lack of character” displayed by my students in certain situations and I’ve been trying to figure out why they chose the “low” road in so many instances. Now, I understand that we need to teach character each and every day and I have strategies to do just that.”
Kayleen Durley, Centerville, IA
“I enjoyed the video course and feel that I learned many things. Many of the videos were very informational and reinforced what I already do in my classroom. The course content is excellent and is beneficial to me.”

“Teaching to Impact Lives was extremely beneficial to my current leadership position. I thoroughly enjoyed the videos and found the coursework easy to follow. The new ideas and strategies that I gained will assist me as a teacher and coach. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is searching for positive strategies to better your role as a leader. Thanks for the opportunity!”

“This course is an excellent choice for any teacher and coach. The content is applicable to any conceivable situation, and was an excellent choice for an elective course. The lessons will help me focus on building a positive environment for the young people that I work with, and I look forward to taking another course like this.”

“The things that I liked best about taking this course was the cost, the useful information and the ability to work at my own pace. This is the second video class that I have taken from Educational Resources and I am looking forward to taking the course Connecting With Today’s Youth this summer. I have found these courses to be very helpful in my field of teaching and coaching and have encouraged others to take these courses.”

“I feel this course, Teaching to Impact Lives, was very beneficial to me as a teacher and coach. I thought the presenters were very knowledgeable about their topics and did a good job of using real world examples to explain them.”
Brad Warren, Centerville, IA
“This course was well planned and comprehensive. In all cases, the topics could be easily applied to a classroom as well as a gym. This class is far different from any graduate course I have taken, as it was presented on video and in books/articles. This information will change the way I conduct myself in the classroom and will positively affect the students as well. I will consider taking another video course and would definitely use this company because of its easy method in which to register and its incredibly organized, easy-to-follow directions in the binder.”
Jill Berghouse Grant, Kankakee, IL

“I thought this was a very worthwhile course. I already have a master’s degree in science education but I feel like this course was as informative and enlightening as any course I have taken. It is refreshing to take a course geared toward advancing my skills as a coach but with the ability to use these principles anytime I work with young people.”
