Student Testimonials

  • "I really liked the examples at the end of each session. I also liked all of the different methods that were presented. I realized that I have used many of them in my years of teaching. I hope your company can present this to the colleges and universities so that new teachers receive this before they start working. As of now most colleges do not teach classroom management as part of their curriculum." -- Wayland M.
  • "I enjoyed the straight, to the point lesson. This was a great review and will recommended it to anyone needing a refresher on classroom management." -- Kasimira L.
  • "The curriculum was well-planned and the extra web-sites were an added plus. I enjoyed the feedback from the instructor, as well." -- Vicki M.
