"This course exceeded my expectations! Even though it was an online course, it didn't feel like one. Your feedback and comments on my assignments made it feel like it was in person. All materials selected for this course were relevant to the topic and were up to date; the videos were engaging and contained valuable information. The articles I read and the research I did allowed me to learn more about course topics. This class taught me more about mental health illness in children and adolescents and how I can help my own students. It is a course that all educators should take due to the significant increase of mental health problems in our students. I loved this class and will recommend it to my colleagues. Thank you for a great class and your dedication. I look forward to more courses at CORE P.D."

Thank you for another amazing learning experience; I was truly sad when the class was over! Each class I have taken at CORE P.D. will forever change my life as an educator. As always, the course had relevant information and research that will be utilized in my classroom, now and throughout my teaching career. I will continue to learn and grow because my students deserve the best version of
me so I can help them be the best version of themselves. Thank you for another impactful course!"

"I am never disappointed in CORE P.D. courses and find that they are the most worthwhile ones out there. As always, thank you for your fantastic feedback after each assignment; it is so wonderful to read your responses and know how thoroughly you reviewed my work. This course flew by so quickly! I will be taking two more courses this semester and I once again will be looking forward to them!"

"This was my very first professional development course and I have to say that it set the bar
pretty high! The assignments were well-thought out and very relevant in today's world.
I learned many statistics related to mental health disorders in children and adolescents; they were very alarming, but all educators to know as much as possible on these topics. I was also made more aware of the warning signs to watch for in my students. This is a course I think every educator should take.
The instructor was a dream - her responses were almost instantaneous and full of wonderful insight.
I will definitely be taking more CORE Professional Development courses in the future!

"I will highly recommend your courses to my colleagues! I thoroughly enjoyed the three courses I took and found myself looking forward to the content of every assignment. I cannot thank you and your staff enough for the effort and care that is put into every course. I look forward to taking many more classes with CORE Professional Development. Thanks again for all you do!"

"I have now completed all six of my CORE P.D. courses for this semester. You and your team are an amazing group of people. Thank you for everything; I have enjoyed all of my classes. Thank you for your support, kindness and making a difference while I am pursuing my professional
development credits. I feel so fortunate and blessed to have taken these courses with you!"

"I received my course completion and CTLE certificates today - thank you for getting them to me
so very quickly! I just want to say 'thank you' for such a wonderful experience! From beginning
to end, everything with CORE P.D. was fantastic! I certainly see what all the hype was about;
all of the great things I heard about CORE are true! I will definitely be back soon for another course!"

"This class was wonderful! For an online platform, I found the outline of work extremely straightforward and easy to navigate. The materials were interesting and "new" - they did not feel like the usual and tired resources used in other professional development courses. I loved your personal feedback. I'm not sure I have ever taken a class where the instructor took the time to write such personalized feedback for each assignment! I always looked forward to reading your responses.
I wish I knew about CORE P.D. courses sooner!"

"I have learned so much from these courses. I always knew how crucial it is to develop
strong relationships with my students, but this course really allowed me to reflect on the
relationships I have built with my students. The articles, videos and activities were wonderful
resources, all of which I will refer back to in order to strengthen my craft. Thank you!"

"CORE Professional Development is so much better and more efficient than other
institutes where I've taken classes! I'll keep recommending your great courses! Thank you!"
