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

"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.

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
