"I really enjoyed the class, Energize Your Environment. It gave me a lot of strategies that I can easily incorporate into my classroom in the upcoming school year. This course gave me more of a variety of strategies that I could utilize in my First Grade classroom compared to previous courses I have taken and will help me continue to row as an educator and improve my effectiveness as a teacher." -Crystal A., IA
"I truly enjoyed the material and concepts presented in the "Energize Your Environment" class. As a teacher and a coach, I needed new ideas for motivating my students and my athletes. This course has given me some very excellent concepts and ideas I look forward to implementing into my teaching and coaching. I have taken other graduate courses before, but very few have fit in so nicely to the needs I have both as an educator and a coach. This course fits the mold quite well covering areas I need to improve upon." -Kelly M., ND
"I have enjoyed the course, Energize Your Environment. As soon as I started digging into the course materials I wanted to implement the new ideas into my classroom. I felt my entire class of first graders would benefit from many of these activities. As I watched each video, I eagerly prepared materials to teach the next day. My students embraced each new activity taught. They eagerly wanted to share it with other first grade friends from different classrooms and any adult that had time to listen. I have shared and encouraged other colleagues to take this course. I would like to take more courses from Educational Resources of MN in the future. Thanks for the positive experience!" -Janiece C.T., IA
"This course was awesome! It was full of ideas and activities that any teacher or coach can use. Both books were easy to read and full of new ideas and activities that you can use right away and all through the year. The DVD's were very informational, positive, inspirational and interesting. Both presenters were very good and knowledgeable. This course and the work are better than any other course I have taken. I would recommend this course to all teachers and principals." - Daletta B., IA
"I learned many practical and innovative ideas for energizing my classroom, and for developing confidence in my students and athletes. This course caused me to re-evaluate my purpose for and my approach to teaching each day. It was one of the most practical courses I have ever had the pleasure of taking. Thanks for helping me get prepared to have a great year." -Mike S., NE
"At the end of the 2016-17 school year, I had a bad attitude about re-writing curriculum for one of my courses. I knew I would need some help with this so I decided to order Energize Your Environment. With the help of this course, I have changed my thinking and I am using a much more positive approach and I am excited to implement my new ideas with my most challenging students next fall. This course has required me to do much thinking about my classes, my coaching and my leadership in our school. I have really enjoyed this course and would recommend it to others!" -Kari J., SD
"Energize Your Environment was another great class from Educational Resources! I love the practicality of the way the course was laid out. I could learn new ideas and go use them the next day! The videos and texts were a great mix! I went into this course thinking about how much time I would have to give up to work on license renewal. My thinking changed Day 1! I actually looked forward to completing the lessons and had so many worthwhile take aways. It was just what I needed to freshen up my perspective and motivate myself so I can now go motivate my students. Thank you for offering this course." -Deonne W., IA
"I have enjoyed taking this class as a graduate course. I have learned several ideas and activities that I will implement into my classroom. I also have referred several other staff members to your course. I would love to have more of my staff take this course and get on board with adding laughter to our day." -Robbyn S., NE
"I am in the process of renewing my teaching license and my Principal recommended this program to me. I was concerned about the videos and quality of information that was going to be presented. After the first video and completing the assignment, I just wanted to keep on going. The material was everything that I was looking for when I read the course description. I wasn't sure if this was going to be able to provide me with anything that I could actually use in my coaching and teaching activities. I know now that it is better than I ever thought it could be. I have never taken graduate credits like this watching videos and completing assignments. It gave me time to reflect and if I wanted to hear something again, I could play it again. And even watch a couple videos a couple times. I know I will be continuing to take courses from Educational Resources again in the future." -Steve S., WI
