This class reminded me of the practices I currently employ that aid my connections with students and gave me some new and fresh ideas. Upon completing it, I am inspired to look further into Cindra Kamphoff's GRIT research, capitalizing on little moments throughout the day to connect with students, and being sure I am making time for fun in my high school classroom. I appreciated that the content was relevant; videos were outstanding with engaging presenters and the featured textbook was short but filled with practical ideas and personal story examples. I am excited to implement the ideas I am walking away with and am reminded of the importance of student connections every day." --Mandy B., MN
