Professional Development Courses for Educators.

I enjoyed this course very much- the assignments were relevant and meaningful and the topic fit my needs as a health educator. The instructor was quick to provide detailed feedback and answer questions. I highly recommend this course!

Suzanne's course was excellent. I honestly have talked about the content of this class nearly every single day in one setting or another. (Including at a neighborhood BBQ tonight!) It was interesting, applicable, and really 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 take-aways I look forward to incorporating. What a great class, Thank you!!

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

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!

Professor Larson was fabulous. My schedule this summer was a bit hectic and he allowed me to tailor some of the assignments to directly connect to the work I was currently doing. A super helpful, interesting course!

Affording the luxury to reflect on my teaching is crucial for my growth and development as a teacher. It is with courses such as this, that I get to push my thinking and practice to deeper levels. Thank you for the opportunity.

My instructor Charity Staudenraus is awesome. This is the 5th or 6th class I have taken from her and she has done a wonderful job in each and every one. She responds to every assignment that I turned in and gives great feedback to all my questions. To tell the truth, I come back to the Heritage Institute to take classes from her. She is that good.
