If you are looking for a great course and want to feel refreshed, I highly recommend taking the It’s All About the Connections course. The information was both relevant and informative. I was able to learn new strategies that I will confidently be able to use in my classroom. One of my favorite lessons in this course was a video on students sharing their perspectives on what makes a great teacher and what they look for in a teacher. Kyle T., MN

What I liked best about this course was its focus on building meaningful student relationships and the practical strategies for fostering connection, resilience, and a positive classroom culture. Unlike some graduate courses that lean heavily on theory, this course felt applicable, personal, and relevant to my daily work. As a teacher coach and mentor, these insights will directly impact how I model connection, growth mindset, and perseverance for both students and colleagues. It was a timely, reaffirming experience, especially meaningful as I near the end of my teaching career. Ron M., MN.
