"I really enjoyed the course. I felt it contained material that will benefit me in my teaching. It made me look at my classroom and evaluate myself. I will make some changes next school year.

It gave a total picture of a sucessful classroom and a successful teacher." Jeanne Havelka, Wahoo, NE

Every video and text had something in it that I have or will use in my job as an educator and coach.

Having the freedom to study when I had the time made it easier for me to focus on the information without outside pressure. I enjoyed receiving information and strategies from a variety of individuals because they all have their own perspectives to share. Although I have been teaching for many years, I found some good ideas and challenges for me in the course. I have recommended the course to colleagues of mine." Kathleen Peterson, Janesville, WI
"I really enjoyed taking the course, Creating an Environment for Success. Many of the ideas and concepts will be very beneficial to me as a coach, teacher, and parent. Like everyone else in our society, my schedule is very busy, and I really appreciated being able to be flexible in my coursework. If I would have been taking a similar graduate course through our local AEA or the University, I definitely would have missed some of my daughter's activities, but I did not have to miss anything, because I could make my own schedule." Melanie Barz, LaPorte City, IA
"As I have now completed my third course in the 'Be A Great Teacher' program, I am continued to be amazed at how well these courses have provided me with fresh, new, stimulating insight and ideas to help me continue my quest to become a better educator and coach. I thought this class was excellent! I believe the knowledge I've gained from all the topics covered in this course to be so beneficial and I know that it has provided me the opportunity to go out and inspire! I will continue to use this information the rest of my life! Thank you for that opportunity." Dale Nordick, Moorhead, MN
"I thought that this course was informative, inspiring, and educationally exceptional. I have taken many graduate courses over the last ten years both in my major and out of my major. This is one of the best if not the best class I have taken. I loved the format of being able to schedule your own class time and not having to travel. The information and presenters were very good and I was pleasantly surprised at how relevant and motivating the lessons were. Usually, I look to at least take one good thing away from a class. I can honestly say that I have four areas of focus that I take away from this class and will use in the future." Josh Rhode, Eagle River, WI
"I entered the class, Creating an Environment for Success, with an open mind. I was not sure if I was going to be able to apply the strategies discussed into my environment. I was happy to discover that there were many techniques that I could use not only with my students but with staff as well. This course was one of the better classes I have taken in my graduate work because it was easy to fit into my schedule and it covered more than just classroom and coaching - it discussed students, parents, teaching and coaching. All of these areas are in my everyday life. Once again, this course was awesome and it provided me with tools that are workable in the classroom as well as the court. Thank you!" Kim Romanchik, Independence, OH
