“This single week of instruction is more worthwhile than an entire year of in-service. Each day provides something positive that can be used in practice or in the classroom as well.”

“This course is a great rejuvenator! It is extremely important that professionals have the opportunity to openly discuss applications of the positive techniques that are used by co-professionals. The insight that the readings lend and videos give were super! I recommend this for all people who work with others in any profession. It is an extremely high quality, well mapped out course.”
Patrick Kopst, IA
East Marshall Middle School Educator
“This course has been very beneficial and worthwhile. I have a new attitude and outlook towards students and athletes. Some of the main points discussed were setting goals, remaining positive, parent involvement, success, life is hard, etc….. Excellent! This class is very applicable, where as other classes I have taken don’t always apply to what I’m teaching. I can take this information back into the classroom and to my athletic team.”

“Great course – this is just another example of the great types of people in the Ed./Coaching profession. One of the great things I love about courses like these are the interaction with other people in the same profession. Keep offering these courses.”
Jim Jacobsen, Waveryly, NE
Teacher/Coach
“I enjoyed this class because the dialogue was good and challenging. The readings and videos were a strong source of information and theory while the discussions helped clarify all the information given. The resources I gained from both the instructor and each other are invaluable. I especially liked the 20 Life Lessons book and the team building book. The questions in the books were great and I plan on using a few in our locker room during the season.”
