Through philosophy, economics, and application, the course pushes you, as a teacher, to reevaluate your current strategies and expand your repertoire of teaching methods to affect students’ lives in practical ways. This course brings together all of the relevant components of context and background information pertinent to teaching fiction. It is an incredibly useful course that not only makes you a better teacher, but it also makes you reconsider your value as an individual in society.

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.

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.
