What I liked the most about this class was the immediate application I could do in my classroom. The ideas were quick, new ways to start off a class period on a positive note.

They provided me with a new outlook on how to handle these different situations to make a more positive impact and good decisions when dealing with these parents or students.

"This course was very informative. I enjoyed the videos and the presenters. Teacher Toolbox 101 was one of the best graduate courses I have taken. The presenters on the video made the course seem more personal than other online courses I have taken. There are so many ideas that I have taken from these videos that I am very excited to try them out in my classroom. As a teacher, I feel very strongly that students should be encouraged to have fun learning. I also feel that many students need their self-esteem boosted. The idea of reinforcing positive behavior and attitudes is what I try to do each day in my classroom. The strategies presented helped me reaffirm my philosophy that children learn more if they are having fun doing it. Even after 30 years of teaching, I learned new ways to teach my students. I would definitely recommend this course to others." Beth Headley, Defiance, OH

Compared to other graduate courses I've taken, I feel this was much more beneficial as the content can be applied to real teaching in comparison to theory that has its place only in conversations held by college professors regarding education. This course has provided me with many new strategies that I can use in the classroom that will benefit my students immediately." Christopher Reed, West Branch, IA
