I really enjoyed the Powerful Teaching course. This independent study allowed me to work at my pace towards advanced graduate level classes. The material I learned from the book was an educational masterpiece that included inspirational, practical techniques that I could easily implement in the classroom. Thank you.

The independent study course, Powerful Teaching, was a great reminder of those strategies we should all be using in our classroom. I appreciated how relevant the information in the course was. This course will inspire the rookie and reinvigorate the veteran!

Powerful Teaching was a great course. I found the book very interesting with many great ideas and examples. It was great to read about the importance of character education and strategies on how to teach manners and character to our students. I am looking forward to taking another course offered by Educational Resources.

This is the first independent study course that I have taken. I always thought they would be difficult and I would have a hard time motivating myself to do the course. This was not the case with this course. The book was a great book. It was an easy read and had many good ideas in it. The book is so good, I would have read this book without taking the course. I am planning on taking more independent study courses from Educational Resources.

I felt that this course was very useful to me as a teacher and coach. Compared to other courses that I have taken, I can say that I got more out of these concepts than any others. I will be able to use these concepts to build the positive atmosphere that I am searching for in both my teaching and coaching fields.
