I appreciate the amazing opportunity the ETL workshops have afforded me to work with stellar educators from all over the United States. To reexamine literature as a means to engage students in enterprise is a completely new and inspiring paradigm for me. The ETL experience has enriched my career as well as the worldview of my students.

The Enterprise Through Literature experience has been a game changer for me, not just in my classroom, but in my entire thought process as well. I have developed unit and lesson plans that are highly engaging and useful. However, the even bigger benefit has been meeting other educators who have the same passion for the craft as I have. I have grown my “teacher tribe” and have a fabulous community from which I draw constant inspiration and new ideas.

For any teacher out there who is looking to transform their classroom into an active place of purposeful, student-driven instruction, look no further. This methodology and approach to the classroom has completely revolutionized my practice, and after 15 years in the classroom I can honestly say have never had more engaged and excited students. Whatever you do, take this course and change your curriculum accordingly, I promise you won’t be disappointed with the results.

The main reason to take this course is because, unlike so many other professional development courses, it is NOT a waste of time. Yes, it requires effort and attention, but it pays off dividends in the classroom.…When a teacher gets a chance to use their mind, among other teachers who also appreciate intelligent productivity and conversation, it is fun and rewarding.

The ETL course has inspired me both individually and professionally to expand my horizons on teaching English in new ways, making the content more relevant in a philosophical and entrepreneurial sense. …I found the course helpful in challenging my own personal growth and in meeting students’ needs in ways that went beyond dystopian fiction..
