"This is the second course I have taken from Educational Resources. Again it was a very worthwhile course. This course and the Leading to Make a Difference class were two of the better graduate courses I have taken. This course gives every teacher and coach some excellent strategies and concepts which will make them a better leader in either the classroom or on the athletic field. This course was well worth the money and time it took to complete. I highly recommend it." John DelVal, Wahpeton, ND
"I felt that this course is very beneficial and positive for both educators and coaches. The coursework is very relevant and can be applied directly into the classroom or gym. Being a young teacher and coach, I can feel overwhelmed at times with students and athletes. Many tips and strategies were helpful and easy to incorporate immediately. This is the first video course that I have taken and it's extremely flexible to fit in my busy schedule." Kelli McCaulley, Carroll, IA
"As a recently retired teacher wishing to renew my certificate, this course allowed me to work at a relaxed pace and to take my course work wherever I traveled. I even watched the videos in the car.

"This course presented clear objectives in an organized format that was easy to follow. I particularly enjoyed the DVD presentations. They were full of ideas and very motivating to watch. Other graduate courses I have taken could be rather dry and unmotivating. This course was energizing and full of practical ideas I can use in my kindergarten room. I have a new perspective on ways to make my classroom a caring environment full of energy and exciting strategies to engage my students in learning." Rhonda King, Kearney, NE
"I thoroughly enjoyed taking the course, Energize Your Environment. It was filled with great practical ideas that I can immediately use in the classroom and on the court as a basketball coach.

I would highly recommend this course to any teacher who wants to refresh themselves and gain new ideas to motivate kids!" Judy Hall, Jackson, OH
