The class was pertinent to the current classroom and students that are in my classroom. The ideas and concepts are simple to implement and reinforce some of what I am already doing. Sharon A., NE.
I greatly enjoyed the course! I loved that it was self paced. I also love how the content is directly applicable to my current teaching. I am looking forward to using what I have learned to benefit my students. Timothy W., IA
Loved the course. I always leave courses with so much useful information (and continue to add into my daily routine). Thanks so much! Elizabeth M., MN
Another great course with a lot of great ideas for building and fostering relationships in the classroom with students. I like being able to work at my own pace and the assignments being straightforward with easy directions and expectations. Very manageable to take while also being in the middle of the school year!

What I liked best about this course was its focus on building meaningful student relationships and the practical strategies for fostering connection, resilience, and a positive classroom culture. Unlike some graduate courses that lean heavily on theory, this course felt applicable, personal, and relevant to my daily work. As a teacher coach and mentor, these insights will directly impact how I model connection, growth mindset, and perseverance for both students and colleagues. It was a timely, reaffirming experience, especially meaningful as I near the end of my teaching career. Ron M., MN.
If you are looking for a great course and want to feel refreshed, I highly recommend taking the It's All About the Connections course. The information was both relevant and informative. I was able to learn new strategies that I will confidently be able to use in my classroom. One of my favorite lessons in this course was a video on students sharing their perspectives on what makes a great teacher and what they look for in a teacher. Kyle T., MN
The discussions about grit and grief were especially relevant for me and my district. It has been a difficult last few years, and a lot of these ideas were helpful. David L., OH.
