We as teachers have such an important influence on students, and we can truly change lives. The coursework was pertinent, so it didn’t even feel like ‘work.’ I will be a better teacher because of it.” -Shelly K., WI

“This course is exactly what I needed to ‘fan the flame’ that I have for teaching! I find it challenging to find courses that apply to what I do in the realm of teaching orchestra. But this course can be applied to a wide variety of leadership positions including mine. The speakers did an excellent job of communicating important concepts and sharing practical and creative ideas that I can use beginning this fall. Even after teaching for 35 years, there is still so much that I can learn. Both the fresh new ideas and the encouragement to continue using things that are important in building relationships will be valuable and useful to me.” -Laura H., IA
