“I thoroughly enjoyed this course from start to finish! Thank you for keeping it on the list of possible courses available. Although the videos would seem to be old, they are still very applicable today. Jeff Keuhn’s presentation was spot on; I want to transcribe the whole thing so I can revisit his words often. Bob Prentice is a true gem; I could listen to him speak all day. Jonathan Friesen’s message was so powerful; he had me spellbound and almost moved to tears. Petra and Don also had great presentations that I will long remember. The book, 501 Tips for Teachers, had me a bit overwhelmed because of the shear number of tips. At first glance it is an easy read, but when I started to dig in a little deeper, each tip is almost like a project on its own. I think I will purchase a copy of that book for myself to keep. I would say this course is very unique and stands apart from any other graduate course I’ve taken. My reflections and action plans created as a result of this course will benefit me in lasting ways. I am looking forward to using the strategies as I gear up for the first week of school in August. Thank you for this learning opportunity.”–Robert G., IA
