I really like that the component 1 was learning information and components 2-5 were applying what I learned. I really like that it is applicable to my job as a classroom teacher right now. Some graduate courses that I have taken are not relevant to my job. Kayla R., NE

I enjoyed everything about this course. The videos and reading material were enlightening. I’ve taken Continuing Education classes that were boring and painful to get through. Through this online course, I gained verification that I am doing many things right and called to my attention things that I need to work on or areas in which I have started slacking. This course reenergized my love of teacher and gave me many practical resources and strategies that I can use in my own classroom. Susan L., NE.

I am 100% sending a strongly-worded email to everyone involved with the teaching college that I attended and recommending they add this to ALL education major maps. Arizona State should be in touch directly. This course taught me ALL THE THINGS that I did not learn either in college or after being thrown into the classroom–CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT, for one!!! This course is a game-changer for newly established educators, and a MUST for anyone who has the desire to teach. Esther, H. NE.
