Brenda does a wonderful job of online teaching. I will remember the things she did and said that stuck with me, and I'll work on integrating them into my classes for the rest of the year. I felt that she truly cared about my learning and the learning of my students …THANK YOU!

This course was more life-changing than any course I have ever taken. Brenda gives thoughtful and insightful reflections. I feel a wonderful connection to her as a mentor. This was the BEST course I have ever taken, and I can tell you it's because of Brenda! She is a gem!

Course: HAPPINESS DIET: Energize Your Brain & Body
with Brenda McKinney

This course was spectacular! I learned so much from Brenda. The resources that this course gave me was beyond enriching, and I hope other teachers, young and old, new and experienced, will take the time to participate in this course and will learn the ropes of working memory. Regardless of what grade you teach, you will not regret it!

I found helpful the activities, the videos, and all your feedback. Thanks for all your comments, suggestions, and activities you gave me. I felt that I was reading comments and advice from a friend, not a teacher. Bravo! You try to know your students and make connections with them, and with me, you did it!

Suzanne's course was excellent. I honestly have talked about the content of this class nearly every single day in one setting or another. It was interesting, applicable, and got me thinking. As a result of this class, I'm looking into other Heritage Institute courses. Thanks!

I loved this course on fostering GRIT! The text was enjoyable, and the assignments provided opportunities to put my learning to practice. The concept of grit is so relevant to teaching these days, and I have many takeaways and look forward to incorporating it into my classroom. What a great class. Thank you!!

This instructor is so interactive, individualized, and personal with her response to every assignment. I can also see her passion reflected in her comments to all of her students in the forum responses. I truly enjoyed this class.

Course: OVERCOMING ADVERSITY: Lessons in Life & Teaching
with Brenda McKinney

I LOVED THIS COURSE! The text had me worried at first, but it is an awesome reference & it is on my desk as we speak! I am flipping one of my classes next year, so this was a great way for me to work out some of the kinks, and I learned so much from the text and assignments. Charity was great to work with & very responsive. I would ask questions as they came to me in my assignments & she responded in a timely manner with great suggestions. Highly recommend if you are even thinking of flipping your classroom!
