So many great ideas that are applicable on many levels. I can always count on these courses to give me something new– or a great reminder of what I may have been forgetting to do! The format is clear and straightforward, and I really appreciate that it isn’t full of the latest (and often over-hyped) buzzwords and trends. Just honest, smart teaching strategies. As always, thank you! Kimberly W., NE

I enjoyed the videos more than the articles. It may be because the videos made me feel like I was in an actual classroom where people were teaching. This course is similar to others I’ve taken. Tom Held has been the instructor in an actual classroom setting and he makes the coursework a little more engaging. This course has given me additional tools to make my classroom more interesting and productive. Susan D., OH
