My favorite part of this course was the combination of both videos and the book. It was nice to hear first-hand from former educators what strategies and tips they had for what works in the classroom. I would be interested in a class that’s based on one (or more) of Hal Urban’s books. Angela W., MN.

One of the things that I liked best with this course is having a combination of videos and book study. The assignments were reasonable in length and I appreciate the flexibility of being able to complete the course over the course of 4 months. The strategies given were current and could be suited for any age. Erin P., NE.

I liked the clarity with what was expected to be completed the best. I used to take courses from beagreatteacher and they would send me CD’s to watch plus a book to read. I really like how the videos are on youtube now! Thank you for offering it. Mary P., IA.
