This course was incredibly practical and refreshing. The focus on humor and genuine praise transformed how I approach my classroom environment. I came in skeptical but left with concrete strategies I started using the very next week!
A must-take for any educator. Betsy Butler delivers the content in a way that's engaging and memorable. The section on trust particularly resonated — it shifted my whole mindset about student autonomy.
Great course overall. Very well organized and the content is relevant. I would have loved more case studies for high school settings, but the core principles definitely apply across all grade levels.
