I found the class to be very educational. I have gained a lot of knowledge and ideas to implement into my classes. The videos were clear and enjoyable. When I finished the class I felt like I had multiple tools to utilize in my future classes. Matt R., IL.

Another great course! I have really enjoyed taking these classes and plan on taking more as they make me reflect on what I am currently doing in the classroom and what more I can do to make the students I teach really “buy in”. Lisa J., NE.

This course provided great and useful advice to learn to love your work so that your students will love being there as well. It gave great reminders to be happy, energetic and give off positive energy so that students will absorb it and be happy as well. Another suggestion that I found useful was to implement a reward system of behaviors that you want to see, and to not give attention to behaviors that you do not want to see. This course was very similar to other graduate courses I have taken and gave very useful advice. Betsy S., NE

The thing I liked best about this course was the mixture of videos and book learning. I was able to take the book on vacation and read it while at the lake. This was wonderful! Jill K., NE.
