“Powerful Teaching has been the most enjoyable course that I have taken through Educational Resources of MN. I would recommend the textbook to any teacher, new or experienced. I learned new ideas to use in my classroom and brushed up on ideas that I knew about, but wasn’t using them to their full potential. Our educational system would be pretty amazing if all teachers did the twenty things that Hal Urban has suggested.” -Bridget B., IA
