"This class was a great refresher to get me ready for the new school year. It provided several ideas to improve the environment in the classroom and improve learning. Some of the things discussed were things I've done in the past and forgot about so it was a great reminder. Many were new ideas that are easy to implement and should improve my teaching and hopefully my student's performance. All the presentations were clear and to the point and offered real life situations that I appreciated." Kyle Mather, Norfolk, NE

It provided me with activities that are relevant to what I am doing and just what I needed to motivate me and help me become a better teacher. This will definitely benefit me in my teaching position.

"I found this video course to be very beneficial. I was able to gain new ideas and methods to use in my classroom. This course also gave me a new perspective on how I deal with situations among students and parents. This is my first time taking a course from Educational Resources, but from now on I want to do all of my courses through them. I liked I could do things at my own pace and the material is relevant to my teaching career." Amber Barnett, Bellefontaine, OH
"I loved this course! I'm so excited to being incorporating some of the simple ideas that I have learned. In the past some graduate classes have given more information than I knew what to do with. This was very overwhelming and seemed hard to pick one strategy to focus on. This course has taken the overwhelming out and I feel like I can change the way I do a few things that could make a real difference. Thanks!! I look forward to taking more courses from you in the future." Shelane Graham, Sturgis, SD
"I enjoyed this class very much. I found all the information very helpful, for a new or veteran teacher. There were numerous strategies that I can use in my classroom. Just from Lesson #9, I have a list of over 30 ideas. Thank you, I will be keeping that list handy as I begin the school year this year, and years to come. I found this course especially nice because I could do it at my own pace. I put a lot of time into it right away when I received the course, so I could get it done quickly and move on with my summer. Thank you for offering this course!" Kathleen Taplin, Sumner, IA
"This is the first class I have taken through Educational Resources. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Teacher Toolbox 101 is an excellent course with practical teaching ideas. This course was very easy to follow. The objectives and assignments were very clear. The lessons were appropriate in length. The videos kept my attention the whole time. I often found myself stopping and rewinding the videos so I could write down the ideas being shared. Most importantly, this course has given me excellent strategies and ideas that will allow me to better connect with and inspire my students." Michelle Brands, Winston, OR
"I was impressed with the Teacher Toolbox 101 course. It made me think about what I did in the classroom as a teacher everyday and how it effects the learning environment the students are in. This course will benefit me and my students by challenging me to become a great teacher based on proven research based learning strategies." Michael Fisher, Fairbury, NE
"I found the Teacher Toolbox 101 course to be easy to use and beneficial to my teaching practice. Each lesson was self explanatory. The videos and chapters correlated well witht he questions and tied in well with the theme of the course. When compared to other graduate courses, I found this course to be geared toward the teacher. Content and topics were relevant and I felt like I could implement the strategies immediately. This course will greatly benefit me in my role as a teacher and as a consultant to schools and administrators. I would definitely recommend this course to others." Megan Steeves, Sacramento, CA
