"I really enjoyed the material in this course, and I feel it could be applicable to just about any teaching situation. Though the presenters were mostly coachers, as a band director my job has many similarities. Developing skills, fostering good character, keeping students' interest, and having fun were just a few of the many important aspects this course covered. It is wonderful to have fresh ideas as we face a lot of unknowns for next school year!" -Janice C., IA
"I had to take this course for some credit hours needed. This course was recommended to me by my Superintendent. I was not looking forward to taking it but knew I had to. After reading the material, I watched the first video... I was hooked. It was very interesting. I learned something from every aspect of this course. I will definitely be using these techniques in my teaching field and coaching. I sincerely want to thank you for your time and effort. Your work is making a difference for sure." -Dave D., OH
"I found this course to be very helpful to further develop my leadership skills. I'm looking forward to using all that I learned in the upcoming school year. The content offered step by step strategies that I plan to share with our staff to further encourage a positive learning environment. I especially enjoyed the teachings by Bruce Brown. Thank you for putting together such an inspiring and useful course." -Renee M., OH
"The video course is excellent in both content and flexibility. I have taken other graduate level coursework and I enjoy the materials presented in the videos. I also enjoy being able to watch the presentations, re-watch and rewind. The material presented in this course will be helpful in the future as I have learned various techniques and ideas that will help me promote positive traditions, help students reduce stress and build a positive self image of the students with which I work." -Charles M., OH
"This is the third course I've taken with Educational Resources, and I continue to be impressed with how relevant and succinct the courses are! Each lesson in the Leading to Make a Difference course taught me something I didn't know and reinforced concepts that I have been teaching. I would highly recommend this course if you are a leader or emerging leader in your workplace. As a school counselor, I am always looking for ways to improve my leadership abilities and this course was very helpful in sharpening my skills. As educators, we are all busy and we do not want to take courses that make us jump through unnecessary hoops. This course has made me a better educator without all of the unnecessary hoop jumping!" -Chelsea K., OH
"I thought the course was very good and exceeded my expectations. Some of the videos were phenomenal and I will use them for decades to come. I have taken my master's classes at a college and have never done a video course like this. I found it perfect for my busy schedule and I could work at the assignments when I had time to do so." -Brian F., IA
"Leading to Make a Difference is an excellent course filled with useful, practical, and straightforward information. I enjoyed taking this course, and I am confident that the material presented will make me a better teacher and coach." -Kyle M., IA
"This is the second course I have taken from Educational Resources. As with the first course, I would highly recommend that any teacher or coach that wishes to improve themselves and their classes/teams to take this course. The videos are outstanding and very informative on how you can either improve your teaching or coaching. These videos gave very helpful examples that a coach or teacher could use in their career. In the future, I will be taking another graduate course from Educational Resources." -Tom R., NE
"This course had some fabulous ideas for the classroom and coaching. It was easy to follow with very clear instructions. I love taking these courses!" -Chandra L., KS
"I always like taking these courses. They are like a breath of fresh air in all the positives that are strived to be seen. I believe teachers can sometimes lose their focus in the busy day to day activities and forget some of the reasons why we are educators and coaches. Positives are hard to find in a career where a majority of people like to point out the negatives. I believe this course really made me think of ways to improve my coaching and different ideas to use. It brought a lot of positive thoughts and made me reflect on how much I love teaching and coaching and why I continue to do so." -Tammy S., KS
