Zach Glenn's course called "Your Canvas" was very informative in helping me work through the LMS of Canvas. Mr. Glenn was wonderful and timely about answering my questions. I highly recommend this course!

Happy Teacher is my absolute favorite place to take graduate level classes. You are able to learn at your own pace. They provide quick feedback and help if you need it. I have learned so much especially when it comes to technology that has greatly helped me implement technology with best practices. They are enthusiastic and wonderful educators. I cannot recommended them enough. You will become a better and more knowledgeable teacher immediately.

These courses are amazing and can be used and implemented into any teacher's classroom. Regardless of grade or content level. The relevance of the new courses, too, are incredibly helpful. 10/10 recommend!

I took Karina Delaney's class on Cultivating Kindness and it inspired me to integrate social emotional learning into my lesson plans. All the lesson plans are very applicable and you can walk away with lessons the next day. It's definitely not overkill like many classes. I can power through them on my own time. I'd highly recommend taking these classes for credit!

Great professionals at Happy Teacher! Timely communication, relevant curriculum, and reasonable expectations. Karina Delaney’s course in particular was a great investment. I’d recommend it to any teacher!

I just completed my second class with the Happy Teacher Professional Development program. I am a veteran teacher and have had to renew my CDE license multiple times. Having taking many classes at many universities for years, I found that the courses offered by the Happy Teacher program were excellent and quite fun. Jennifer Cooper was always very prompt in answering any questions I had during the classes I had. To be honest, I am much more of a 'face-to-face' learner but COVID restrictions have us all learning remotely. These courses are self-paced and very easy to follow. I highly recommend taking any of the courses offered by the Happy Teacher Professional Development program.
