"I thought this course was incredibly beneficial. This course was much more "practical" than many other courses. The ability to implement what you've learned is fairly simple. The information is delivered in a very effective, clear and concise way. I'm not sure I can fully explain how much this course will have benefited me. I have so many new directions I would like to head in. It also made me rethink a lot of what I am currently doing." Kenyon Commins, Cincinnati, OH
"This course is an excellent way to earn college credit and earning it while you truly enhance yourself as a teacher or coach. The information in this course was informative, current, and transforming. I have benefitted from the information by allowing me to learn, enhance and improve as a teacher and coach. My kids noticed a difference too!" Peter Waltz, Algona, IA
"I thoroughly enjoyed this graduate course. First of all, the way it was set up so that you can go at your own pace is excellent. You can watch the DVD's on your own time, pause and take notes, making sure you get all the information down. I only wish I had taken this course many years ago, there is so much valuable information! It is truly something that should not just be available to graduate students! WOW!! Patty Foley, Lima, OH
"I found this course to be very informative and thought provoking. Topics selected were very important and applicable to all teachers and coaches. This is one of the best courses I have taken. This course has made me more aware of my attitude and how it affects my students and players. I will definitely use concepts and tactics from this course in my classroom and in my coaching endeavors. Thank you for creating such a great class!" Josh Nessa, Colo, IA
"This course was very interesting and informative. The lessons made me really think about how I'm currently teaching, what I want to change, and what I'd like to implement into my classroom. I have been discussing the ideas learned form this class, and I have definitely recommended it to my peers." Kari Fitzsimmons, Bonaparte, IA
"Leading to Make a Difference was my first course taken through Educational Resources. It was also my first ever video course. This course was a blessing! I found this material to be very relevant to the sports I coach and also easily transferred to the classroom in which I teach. In every video I watched, I found something "new" to add to my coaching and teaching "bag of tricks." In addition to the excellent course content, it was a pleasure working with the staff at Educational Resources. I have recommended this course to a number of colleagues and will continue to look to Educational Resources for additional coursework." Rick Ducat, Manitowoc, WI
"I thought the course was extremely informative and applicable to my roles as both a teacher and a coach. Unlike other graduate courses I have taken, this one gave me information that I was both interested in and can actually use." Teri Neil, Independence, IA
"This course was the most applicable and interesting course that I have ever taken. It has so many practical methods that I already do in my teaching and coaching that I just need to reapply and do more in depth by using the ideas presented in the videos and readings. Every single lesson has something that I can use on an everyday basis with my students and my athletes. This class has refocused my thinking to how these principles and ideas can benefit anyone in a classroom or on a basketball court and I will begin using these things immediately." John Neil, Independence, IA
"The courses I have taken through Educational Resources have made me much more aware of the impact I can have on the lives of my students and players by the type of environment I provide for them. They have made me look at my approach each day and try to make it more positive. They have transformed the way in which I do business." Jeffrey Williams, Owatonna, MN
