The course, Powerful Teaching, was a great course that allowed me to think about how I would like to set up the atmosphere in my classroom. It has great ideas to help make a positive learning environment, how to set up my policies, and how to get my students involved in setting the ‘Golden Rules.

I really enjoyed this course. The book was teacher friendly and very down to earth. I feel I got more out of this class because I could relate to the different situations presented and reflect upon them. The course is valuable not only to the beginning teacher but also to the veteran. It is also appropriate for teachers at any grade level.
