I really enjoyed taking this course, and it helped me get excited for the upcoming school year! Building relationships is why I became a teacher in the first place, and this course was a great reminder of the importance behind that. Plus, it gave some great new strategies and ideas. Thank you!

I appreciated hearing authentic student perspectives through the video presentations. The presentation on grief also expanded my toolkit for supporting students, families, and colleagues. Overall, this course served as a valuable reminder of the importance of building positive relationships with students and the meaningful impact those relationships have on the classroom environment. Keelyn C., NE.
I really enjoyed the course. The various topics on ways to connect with students were unexpected, yet so beneficial. For example, I was not expecting to talk about grit, grief, and writing projects all in the same course, yet I found that I was learning about ways to connect with students in a different way through each lesson. The course was definitely worthwhile. Nicole S., NE
This was a great encouraging, empowering course that gave me ideas to build positivity in my classroom! I liked the section about building resiliency in students and myself. I also reflected on adding humor and lightness in my classroom and asking for student feedback more often. Whitney L., IA.
I think this was a great course. Sometimes as a teacher that has taught for 20 plus years it is hard to find classes that you feel are worth your time. This one was. Adam L., SD
I really enjoyed the grounding and reinforcing component parts of this class. The student/athlete always needs to be placed at the center of what we do and this course provide a lot of great thoughts and ideas to add to my toolbox but also many things that reinforce and remind me of things I have used in the past and got me refocused on what I can do better. Kevin F., IA
This was a great course! I especially enjoyed the book; so many great ideas! Deanna V., NE.
I really enjoyed the layout of this class. The videos and book were well done and informative and the questions were applicable. This class wasn't burdensome and was easy to complete while working full-time. Nicole H., OH
