This course shared so many great resources and ideas! Additionally, it even suggested logical answers to some difficult to answer educator questions (ex: Why are today's students different than previous generations? How can I teach students common sense and basic procedures?). Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in this class!

This course is very well designed to allow educators to learn about behaviors that we are seeing in the classroom. This course caught my eye because I have had challenging behaviors in the past few years and this course gave me tools to handle those challenges in a more effective manner.

I really enjoyed this course because it was applicable to my classroom teaching and my parenting. My wife and I will be using the text "Possitive Discipline" by Jane Nelsen as reference for raising our own children. It was a perfect course for all grade levels with very valuable techiques to apply to all my band classes.

This course really helped me with adding a lot of different positive behavior ideas to use in the classroom. It also helped me reflect on how I deal with behavior issues and gave me ideas to used when those behaviors happen in and out of the classroom.

My professor Mr. Bartsch made me feel motivated from the beginning. His words of encouragement inspired me to keep going. This course was extremely helpful and there were so many tips that I have learned. I feel like I can be more independent in my classroom. Reading Discipline in the Classroom gave me alot of teachable moments that I could learn from.

This was my second class I took with Doug Bartsch and it was just as good as the first! The field activities again proved to be a helpful tool that I can use in my classroom the next day. It was refreshing to look at discipline in a new light. To often we forget students are still developing skills and want them to behave a certain why when we as adults can't do it. I hope to take another course!
