This course has helped me realize what I want to be as a teacher. I liked the videos the best about this course. I like listening and watching to fully take in what I am learning about. The questions to the videos and articles were thought provoking and helped me think about and reflect what I want my own teaching to look like. This course helped me realize that I want to be more positive and grateful in the classroom. Brenda K., NE.

This was another great course offering by “Be A Great Teacher!” I especially enjoyed Lundeen’s & Fink’s presentations which offered practical strategies that I can easily apply to my classroom and personal life as well! I had a harder time focusing on Jawaharlal’s presentation as it was harder to understand him with his accent and it was just presented in a way that was less engaging to me personally. However, I really enjoy the video presentations overall! Kimberly S., NE.

Another excellent course that allowed me to explore my 38 year teaching career and reflect on the many things discussed here that I have done through the years. Bob and Ann Marie are awesome to work with and I learned some new techniques and reinforced some things that I already do. Thank you for an excellent course. This course will benefit me in my teaching by helping me explore new and already adapted concepts. John N., IA.
