"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you. My wife and I have been teaching for a combined 49 years. I have to admit that she is much more cerebral in her planning. I can honestly say that at first I was just looking at this for license renewal, but now I find myself almost overwhelmed with ideas of changes I can and should do. Gee, thanks! The course is great and I will recommend it to others." Phil Schmidt, Pleasant Hill, IA

The work requested was not over bearing like some other graduate credit courses I have taken. I was able to work at my own pace, it was easy to pick up if I had let it sit for a day or two."

The course was easy to follow and I loved the videos, it helped me understand the concepts that were being taught.

It is well worth your time and effort." Alan Stewart, Bussey, IA
"Energize Your Environment is a refreshing course that hit home right before going back to school in the fall. The information is practical and just makes sense; the speakers on the DVDs make connections to real-life people and that was meaningful to me. Though I've considered my classroom environment to be a positive and energized place, I took away great insight into how I can enhnace what's already happening. I can hardly wait to see the results of implementing what I learned through this course with both students and staff in my district. The staff at Educational Resources is fabulous. They were great about answering any questions I had about taking the course. I will definitely take more coursework through them!" Melissa Murley, Iowa Falls, IA

I was surprised at how quickly the class information came to me. It was less than a week when I got the package in the mail. This course was well organized and easy to follow. I was able to gain a lot of information from the DVDs along with the reading materials. It really caused me to reflect on my teaching practices and think of ways to continue to improve. I know students will benefit from the lessons and energizers I have learned from this class." Vickie Banwart, Lake Mills, IA
