"This class was exactly what I needed to bring more higher-level critical thinking to my lessons. I enjoyed listening to the speakers and thought they each brought a unique perspective to the subject. With this class I now have the three classes required by Augustana to enter their Master of Education program this summer." --Jennifer S., IL
"I really enjoyed this course. I liked the suggestions in each video as well as the book. The videos held my attention the whole time and were led by great speakers who were passionate about what they were speaking about. I liked the short chapters in the book. It was easy to read and not overwhelming. I honestly liked everything about this course and wouldn't change a thing. I am looking forward to finding more courses with a similar format. This course will benefit me greatly working with students." --Lisa D., IA
"This was my first class with Be a Great Teacher. I really enjoyed the combination of videos and book. The questions in each lesson were helpful and provided a good way to keep track of the important information. I loved that the class was on-line and that I could work at my own pace. The focus of this class was building relationships with students, and I am taking away some good ideas that I can implement right away." --Julie P., OH
"The class, It's All About Connections, is going to benefit me as a classroom teacher because it provided many strategies that I can use with my students." --Mark K., IA
"I enjoyed having a combination of both videos and a book to read as I worked through this course. All the videos were up to date, practical, interesting, and full of good information. The book that was provided was written by a true teacher and had short practical strategies I can implement in my classroom easily. The assignments were clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed this class as it made me reflect on what I can do better to help develop better relationships with my students." --Jennifer H., IA

During "It's All About Connections" I learned to combat negativity bias and work on turning negative into positive thoughts along with letting go of those negative thoughts. These new ideas will help my students." --Tina G., IA
