"I really enjoyed taking this class. It re-energized my outlook on teaching students. At times, we get into a routine that can become stagnant and it can get boring. This has allowed me to rethink what I do on a day to day basis. I will recommend this course to my peers in the future." Roger Hames, South Sioux City, NE
"This is a very student friendly class. The videos are enjoyable to watch and are informative with concepts you can use. The text material is a pleasant read presenting ideas and thoughts to be used in the classroom. The content of this course is not just about strategy and structure either. It makes you think about the type of student you are working with. The course has you reflect on the care that certain students may need. It's more than just self esteem, getting them to feel they can and do offer to the educational setting, which then creates an environment of success for them." Mark Vande Berg, Harlan, IA
"I sincerely enjoyed this course and all the different speakers and presentations. A colleague of mine suggested the video courses because she said they were very practical and the tips and strategies that are presented are things that you can implement right away in your classroom. I've taken four of the video courses and I have thoroughly enjoyed each one and have learned many things. I love how the courses are designed so that you can work at your own pace and I'm not on a strict time limit where I have to be on the computer every night at a certain time. Every presenter brings something new and interesting and I highly recommend these courses to my friends and colleagues." Barbara Edwards, Des Moines, IA

"This has been my second professional development course with Educational Resources and once again I am super excited, Bob Fink delivers! Whatever your leadership position may be, regardless of the length of time you have spent in it, I guarantee not only will you 'kick it up a notch,' but you will find yourself coming back for more. It is by far the best investment you will make in yourself and those you lead." Paula Reinerio, Stevens Point, WI
"Creating an Environment for Success is a thought provoking course designed to make educational leaders aware of the impact environment has on success. The strategies presented and discussed will allow our program to be a place where young people can thrive.

I will strongly recommend this course to my staff and for those looking for a positive change in their programs." Michael Huffman, Fort Calhoun, NE
"I found the course to be very inspiring and eye-opening. The wide array of topics kept me interested and engaged. As a "seasoned" teacher it is easy to become compacent and predictable as a teacher. Educational Resources courses always challenge me in new ways to become all that I can be. Comapred to other courses that I have taken, it was greatly superior in meeting today's educator's needs head on. Thank you!" David Swift, Cincinnati, OH
