"This course gave me a different perspective on how students may see themselves and see me. As teachers, we often minimize our effect on students when in fact, we are a powerful influence. We have the ability to help students find their strengths and reach/set goals. I took Teacher Toolbox 101 & 201. These courses were also extremely helpful. They gave me strategies that I can use and will forever impact my classroom. This class will help me to focus on my actions and hopefully be a better role model for my students." Kelly Laurie, Maple Heights, OH
"The video course Teach to Reach was very enlightening. This course challenged my beliefs in education and helped me create my own educational mission statement. I thoughly enjoyed this course." Joshua Nessa, Colo, IA
"Yet another outstanding course filled with practical techniques and ideas that can be applied to the classroom, playing fields or just life in general. I am excited to put some of these ideas to use in an effort to "Teach to Reach" all kids I come in contact with." Mark Bouwman, Fort Calhoun, NE
"This course both refreshed my thinking and made me aware of many things that I would like to do, and continue doing as a teacher. I learned the importance of being a teacher who is passionate, energetic, fun, positive, and motivating. This course provided me with ways in which I can actively involve students in productive interactions that will have a strong and lasting impact on their behavior. I learned proven methods that will strengthen my leadership and communication skills. I am truly excited to begin a new school year feeling refreshed and eager to share these ideas and concepts with my students and colleagues!" JoAnne Brademeyer, Lewistown, OH
Teach to Reach was an outstanding course. The course provided me with new strategies, refreshing concepts and a sharp reminder that people and students are what matter in education. Whether you are new to teaching or coaching or have been doing it for a few years, this course directs your efforts and thoughts to impacting people. I have taken many graduate courses, having earned my masters degree in Educationa Administration 10 years ago and Teach to Reach is top notch. It has sound theories supported and presented through the experiences of veteran teachers and coaches. If your priority is to teach students first and your content area second, this is a course you will enjoy and benefit from. This course can and will help you become a leader among your colleagues in the area of making a difference in the lives of young people." Chris Yaw, Orange City, IA
"I feel that Teach to Reach has given me the tools and ideas to be able to make a lasting impact on my students. Every year, my boss sends me to a national teaching conference. I feel that this class offered by Educational Resources has offered more useful information than any of the conferences that I have attended. The best part of this information is that they are ideas that I can walk into the first day of class and begin to implement!" Heather Flint, Madison, NE
"This was an outstanding course that can benefit you regardless of your leadership position. The content is relevant and refreshing in the way it is presented. If you are looking to improve yourself, this course is a great step to take!" Nathan Larsen, Aurora, NE
"I thought that this course was an excellent graduate level course. I learned so many strategies that I plan to implement into my kindergarten classroom. It was so motivational for me. It gave me many statistics on the success of classroom teaching strategies that I will use in the future. I learned about strategies that work, and I also learned about strategies that a teacher should never do. I have become a better teacher because of taking this course. Thanks for the course!" Barb Shaffer, West Unity, OH
"This course was well planned. It kept my interest from the first video, through the readings, to the last assignment. Even though writing an action plan did not sound appealing, it made me review all of the wonderful information that was covered so that now I have a plan in place for when school starts. Other graduate courses I have taken do not offer the variety of materials or the pumping of positiveness that is in every Educational Resources course I have taken. I continue to take these courses because they reenergize me and supply me with new positive tools that can be used immediately in my classrooms. Thank you for this course!" Amy McDonald, Defiance, OH
"I thought this course was very beneficial. The concepts and strategies taught are ones that I can use in my classroom. It was recommended highly to me by a colleague and it was everything that he said it was." Carol Charvat, Omaha, NE
