“Thank you so much for creating another opportunity to challenge ourselves and for professional and personal growth! APP and DEO are the Real Deal!! You can’t walk out of the class without being energized and reflective! Thanks for taking risks in writing/creating/designing/dreaming these courses so you impact the excellence farther than you’ll ever know! You must keep Jack Guggenmos as an advocate for your courses!”
Bobbie Cox, Lincoln , NE
“Once again I thought Educational Resources hit a home run with the course Developing Excellence in Others. The variety of large group and small group discussions, along with motivational movies, real testimonials and positive interaction with peers creates a no-lose situation. The topics on motivation and mental training were especially effective, making this class a must for any teacher or coach who is looking for new ideas to strengthen their profession. Finally, having quality instruction is a must and, as in the past, Mr. Barry Wohler, lent his expertise and guidance to allow us to experience a wonderful week of class!”
Bart Hill, 4 th grade teacher, Lac Qui Parle Valley Schools,MN
“This was a very worthwhile course. I enjoyed the topics discussed, the instructors input (stories) but what I valued most of all is the input, ideas and strategies that the other class participants shared. I would definitely take another course such as this and highly recommend this course. The inspiration gained was both valuable in the classroom and on the playing field. The instructor had invaluable information and insights to share. Thank you for this opportunity.”
Greg Hadley, BBE Schools, 6th Grade teacher & Coach, MN
“I am truly grateful to the people that created this course. Very beneficial and will be very useful this coming year. It has helped me to see excellence in others. I am committed.”
Stan Erks, Asst. Jr. High Football Coach, Centennial Public School, MN
“The way the information was presented in this course is so very valuable. Topics were used from Achieving Peak Performance in my program. The topics covered in Developing Excellence in Others has taught me to be a better leader and motivator. Our instructor really loved what he was doing and enjoyed our class each day. He brought a very nice atmosphere to the class.”
Scott Jenson, Platteview High School
“I thought this was the best course that I have taken. It was enjoyable and beneficial to me as a teacher and coach. I will be able to implement ideas on motivation, communication and leadership into my classroom and on the wrestling team. I would love to take another course similar to this. In fact, I will take Achieving Peak Performance if and when it is offered again. Mr. Kavars did an excellent job of facilitating this course. He provided a classroom environment that was conducive to learning. I would like to take another course under his instruction.”
Bill Glenn, Teacher, Head Wrestling coach, New Hampton High School, IA
“Both courses have done an excellent job of helping me shape and mold my philosophies of teaching and coaching. They were challenging, encouraging and fun. Most of all they have given me the confidence to know that I am doing things the best way that I can and that is the right way to go about business.”
Corey McKinnon, Forest Lake, MN
“I was fortunate enough to have taken Achieving Peak Performance two summers ago. I felt it was an awesome course. Developing Excellence in Others is a tremendous follow up course. Many of the topics covered in the two courses are so relevant in the coaching and teaching profession. You cannot help but to use the information in your daily life regardless of the area. The atmosphere is very conducive to sharing and learning. I can’t think of a better way to learn than by sitting with your peers for five days and discussing different concepts of how to achieve success. I would highly recommend both of these courses regardless of your profession.”
Jim Stewart, Coach/Teacher, Sumner-Fredericksburg- Jr.-Sr. Comm. Schools, IA
“I enjoyed the class with all the different activities, videos and group work. It opened my eyes on some topics and issues. This is the 2nd class I have taken from you and I will take another in the future.”
Virg Polak, Watertown, SD
“What an excellent class! This is the second class I have taken. Both have challenged me to become a better teacher, a better coach and a better person. I would recommend these courses to anyone.”
Garry Sigle, Manhattan, KS
