This class introduced great strategies for elementary, middle school, and high school students to be successful with reading. Many of these strategies would be useful in the classroom immediately. Brian D., NE.
Another great class. Thank you for always pushing me to become a better teacher. Laurie S., NE.
This was a great class to remind me of meeting kids where they are at and provide the necessary tools and strategies to meet the needs of all my students in order for them to progress in reading. Kelli B., NE.
I enjoyed this course. It will be helpful for use in my reading lessons with my students. I found this course to be more directly applicable to me as a language arts teacher given the focus. Miriam S., OH
I have been looking for a course that would help me to be a better reading teacher. It has been the area of my teaching that needed improvement, and I am glad I found help and many great ideas from this course. James G., IA
"This was an amazing class, and have already seen results with my summer school students. I look forward to implementing these strategies during the 2023-2024 school year! I learned so many new concepts and strategies such as: TAPS, Door Magic, Collection Bank and other fun and engaging activities. I am a K-5 ELL teacher, and now I have so many new strategies to incorporate to ensure my lessons are fun and engaging. I really liked the book, as it is a wealth of information and resource. I really enjoyed how the class incorporated self-reflection into the lessons. I always self-reflect, but I feel like this class made me look deeper and be more honest with myself especially with the multiple intelligences. I loved how the components were devised so I could use them with my students or colleagues during Professional Development. Thank you again for all the work and time you put into this amazing class! I look forward to taking more classes in the future." --Lori M., NE

Thank you!"--Amy J., OH
"I enjoyed the topic of this course! Reading is so important in all subject areas. Being a third grade ELA teacher, this subject is very near and dear to my heart, and I love learning new information/ideas. I appreciate that your courses are always easy to follow and flexible. Thank you so much!"--Shelly C., OH
"The self-paced course provides convenience and flexibility. Creating an Action Plan provides an opportunity to ensure "course to classroom" integration. Both make Be A Great Teacher an educational resource worth the return!"--Anne M., OH
