I enjoyed the fast easy pace of the coursework. Dana B., OH.
I enjoyed this course. I am looking forward to getting and reading Dr. Kamphoff's book "Beyond Grit" and visiting the site beyondgrit.com. Molly K., NE.
This class was great and the lessons that focused on GRIT were awesome. Kent K., NE.
I thought the glass was excellent and will definitely help in my professional development. The book was great and all the lectures were informative with awesome strategies to make you a better teacher. Daniel S., OH.
I really liked the videos that we watched. I think that having something to watch instead of read helps break up the monotony. I also enjoyed the topics that were covered. I feel like every piece of this course can be utilized. In the past, some of my classes felt repetitive and a regurgitation of a previous class. This was not those classes! Johanna B., NE.
I thought this course was a really good course to take as a summer course. This course has provided me with new skills and ways to build connections with my students. I also enjoyed the lessons about building GRIT for myself and my students. I also gained a lot of knowledge during the lesson on grief and have new ways that I can support those around me who are going through the grieving process. Casey D., MO.
The thing I liked best about this course was the mixture of videos and book learning. I was able to take the book on vacation and read it while at the lake. This was wonderful! Jill K., NE.
This course provided great and useful advice to learn to love your work so that your students will love being there as well. It gave great reminders to be happy, energetic and give off positive energy so that students will absorb it and be happy as well. Another suggestion that I found useful was to implement a reward system of behaviors that you want to see, and to not give attention to behaviors that you do not want to see. This course was very similar to other graduate courses I have taken and gave very useful advice. Betsy S., NE
Another great course! I have really enjoyed taking these classes and plan on taking more as they make me reflect on what I am currently doing in the classroom and what more I can do to make the students I teach really "buy in". Lisa J., NE.
I found the class to be very educational. I have gained a lot of knowledge and ideas to implement into my classes. The videos were clear and enjoyable. When I finished the class I felt like I had multiple tools to utilize in my future classes. Matt R., IL.
