I really enjoyed this course and found many things that I can take back and apply for Professional Development with teachers. The only suggestion is on Week 5 - the questions on the first video do not match. They are supposed to be on the second Duckworth Video. Thanks!

This course is extremely helpful to teachers wanting/needing to re-energize. It affirms thoughts and feelings experienced by teachers on a regular basis, but provides a framework to change the way we think about those feelings. Well worth taking.

Excellent course! I was reminded of how Deay was SO far ahead of his ti me, amazing! Thank you for that! Hopeful & inspiration al aftermath 23 years of loving teaching & my students EVEN When I was burned out by all the bureaucratic 'yahoo'.

I am really pleasantly surprised by the focus on the social and emotional needs and insight of the teacher in this course. As I was engaging with the materials I had so many "aha! That's what we're calling it!" moments. Thank you so much!

I really liked this course. It is very useful for teachers once it makes them aware of the importance of dealing with their own emotions to better connect with their students and help them develop a love of learning.

This provided an immersion in who I am as a person and as a professional. A splendid, sensitive and profound course! I thank the teachers and everyone who participated in the organization of this beautiful course.

Quite interesting information which matches many of my own beliefs. It gave me a huge relief to find out that what I think and feel is normal...and that we just have to plug along to keep the ball rolling.

It is an amazing course for all teachers and educationists who want to dig deep into the subject of social and emotional learning. I learned so many things and I hope it will benefit me in the future.

I was feeling down about my recent teaching experiences and this course has reconnected me to why I began teaching in the first place. I will return to the readings for future enlightenment.

Simply superb. Excellent readings that provide a glimpse into several beautiful minds who have thought deeply about the experience of being a teacher. Powerful and trans formative.

There is a lot of material here that I need to read and re-read. I do not feel that I have completed a course...I think this is just the beginning of a whole new cycle. Thank you:)

Great insights on a much neglected or marginalized aspect of social and emotional learning that is centered on the teacher as the corner stone of a healthy educational environment.

This is a great initiation to the SEL specialization. It covers an integral part which is the teacher's own well being that allows them to engage in SEL with their students.

A course full of insights; intellectually, emotionally and spiritually engaging. Thanks, I will continue with the other courses in the specialization as is transformative!!

This course really helped me to step back and view teaching and myself as a teacher in a new lens. I have enjoyed learning about SEL in teaching and ultimately the teacher.

I am currently working on my doctoral dissertation and found the information in this course superior most information available. Thank you for an excellent experience.

From the first week this course has changed my mentality not only as a possible teacher but also as a human being, thanks to :

Really wonderful sessions and an eye opener for the teachers. It enhanced the self esteem of me as a teacher even if teaching is the least paid profession in India

Very helpful and easy to understand. Videos and learning recordings are very helpful. Thank you for all the support. Look ahead for more learnings and insights.

I had a great time learning this course. I really learn a lot as a teacher in learning and a better understanding about teachers social and emotional learning.

I loved it, it´s helping me with my own way of teaching and beeing a mother (I´m learning what I want my daughter to have in her life) and what really matters

Amazing, I learn a lot in this course. I think is a must to take it if you're involved in teaching, it will lead to you to become a better professor.

I really loved the course. They were very interesting. The materials were awesome and provided necessary knowledge regarding the course very well.

This was an incredible experience of learning and personal and professional growth. I am amazed by the course and I want to go on until the end.

Very interesting readings - I enjoyed the introductions to each module and the discussion prompts to keep in mind going through the material.
