Great Sense of Humor and Enthusiasm

I took a survey on Outschool the other day and they asked me what they could do to make Outschool even better. I said that they should clone Dr. Karen Wieland and have her teaching a lot more classes. I feel like a lot of other Outschool teachers could really benefit from taking a page out of your style guide. The way that you chat with the students and get them warmed up and comfortable, you really allow them to make their discoveries for themselves, and just the way that you maintain a great sense of humor and enthusiasm through the whole class/course is really exceptional.

Dr. Wieland is a highly effective teacher. She has a VERY strong command of the material – her vast repertoire of knowledge is positively astonishing. She inspires and motivates me to be the absolute best educator that I can be.  Dr. Wieland’s high expectations and thoughtful instruction has had such a profound impact on my life as a student this semester. This instructor knows what she is talking about.

My son has taken numerous classes with Dr. Karen over the past few years and every single one of them has been wonderful! His reading, writing, and understanding of the English language has just exploded in all of the best ways. She spends so much time with the students and is always engaging. We love her!

[ . . . ] This process of data tracking was one that I took with me and still use today. Through careful reflection and meaningful decision-making, I am confident that my students are supported and enriched in the area of literacy. I would not have this confidence and knowledge without the guidance of Dr. Wieland. [ . . . ] Dr. Wieland’s continuous hard work, dedication, and array of experience is a reflection of what her graduate students become.

. . . Also I want to thank you for making this class so much fun. I love the BINGO games and everything that you do to keep these kids interested while they are learning a lifelong skill. You are doing a lot of good in this world. Rating 5/5

I worked with Karen Wieland for many years in the programs at St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute, as well as an affiliate, friend, and advisor, when I was teaching at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Niagara University, and when I was working in professional and semi-professional theater in Buffalo. Paraphrasing the words of opera singer Nadine Asher Washington, who workshopped with Karen’s students at St. Joe’s in 1990, Karen is the best teacher she’s known, particularly … Read more

Karen did a awesome job of using our time to identify my strengths and weaknesses to ensure she is deploying the most viable resources in the dyslexia field to maximize our efforts.

As educators, we have the power to affect eternity through each life that we touch. This privilege, however, comes only through the time that our own teachers have dedicated to our development. Dr. Karen Wieland is one such educator who has demonstrated an unwavering devotion to the education of her students. [ . . . ] While her scholarship and professionalism are undeniable, what is most striking about Dr. Wieland is her devotion to relationships. [ . . . ] It truly takes one “extraordinary” ed… Read more
