“The Win-Win Classroom was very beneficial to my current teaching situation. I felt this course provided me with many strategies that I can implement in my classroom to have a successful school year. I like how this course is set up to work at my own pace. One day I have time for three or four lessons, while another day I do not have time for any. This course will benefit me in the leadership position that I am in by using all the tools and strategies to become a better teacher.” -Kelly Z., OH

“Great course! First, I love the fact it is independent study, which gives me flexibility during my coaching season. Second, the course work options allowed me to work on things I could use and implement immediately in my teaching/classroom. Finally, the price of the graduate hours are as affordable as any I have seen.” -Vince P., IA

“I appreciate the ability to complete work that has been assigned with a very straight-forward and easy to understand format. Having all class components clearly laid out is appreciated, and being able to complete each component at my own pace is very useful. I am a wife, working mother, and graduate student who has a demanding schedule, so the option to take an independent study course is wonderful. I appreciated the ability to improve my teaching practice through the study of a helpful and meaningful text.” -Jennifer A., IA

“The Win-Win Classroom is a must for all educators. So many things, beyond content, go into being an effective teacher and this course really spells out all the details. The information is so useful and straight-forward that I can implement parts of it in my classroom the very next day. There was never a part that I felt didn’t really apply to me or my classroom. Other courses may have good information but it can be difficult to find the time to add it to your daily routine. This course will definitely improve my communication skills with my students and fellow teachers. I liked the focus of becoming aware of ourselves first. As I was studying the book, I could see myself or people that I knew fitting into some of the categories. That made the material very relatable. It is easy to see why a neighboring teacher recommended courses through BeAGreatTeacher.com” -Susan E., IA

“I loved this class because it made me reflect on my own teaching. It gave me great ideas to use to improve on my weaknesses. I liked that it’s a class I can do on my own or with a friend. We can show ideas about how we each do something differently but with the same goal in mind. This class is so user friendly. I enjoyed it more than other classes I have taken and plan to take more. I like how it was laid out with choices and options. The options were very practical.” -Jennifer L., IA
