EMLE Faculty and Staff
Preparing teachers and education professionals is what we do. And the EMLE faculty bring it every day. Drawing on their own experiences in classrooms. Adding to teaching pedagogy, or practice, through research. Leading in their disciplines in professional organizations. And always, being there for you, whether that’s in their offices, in the classroom, on the phone or via Zoom.
Coming Full Circle
“My initial decision to come here as a student was due to the reputation of UNI being a great education school. I finalized the decision to attend after touring and feeling at home. Coming back to work here has been a blessing that has brought me full circle.” – Allison Pattee, clinical assistant professor of instruction, coordinator of the elementary education online transfer program and former elementary principal and child care center director.
Building Confidence
"I love to teach! Helping students realize that science isn't that scary or that they just need to believe in themselves drives me. I think I have this drive because I wasn't the best student, but I was lucky enough to have a few fantastic teachers in upper-elementary and middle school who impacted me and changed the way I looked at school." --- Mason Kuhn, associate professor
Paying It Forward
"Whenever I see a student realizing or exceeding their expectations, I am reminded that I chose the right career path. We are in a 'pay it forward' business. I hope happy and accomplished graduates from the teacher preparation program will pay it forward by nurturing their students to become the best versions of themselves." — Magda Galloway, associate professor of instruction
