I liked the videos in the course, I felt that they were meaningful and all material could be related to my kindergarten classroom. I enjoyed writing the action plan because it was helpful to apply it to my classroom and put what I’ve learned to use. Jodi M., OH

I liked this course for its simplicity, and yet it challenged my thoughts and practices as an educator. The way it is structured allowed for continued reinforcement of key concepts. While some of the information was a refresher, it further reinforced concepts that can be looked past as educators. I will be taking more of these classes in the future. Kevin F., IA.

I like that the course was split up into lessons that could be tackled independently. I didn’t like that I was on my computer for all of it, which just means that the book courses will be a better choice for me in the future. I feel like I got several tips or reminders of concrete things that I could integrate into my work and life that will benefit me. Bethanie K., MO.

I learned many useful concepts and strategies from taking this course (Teaching for Excellence) that I can immediately apply to my elementary teaching. The course contained many tips for creating a classroom environment and experience that benefits all learners, teachers included! I gave birth to twin boys in September and I have a two year old daughter so if I can find the time to complete this course, then you can too! Erin C., OH.
