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, instructor, curriculum & instruction
Perspectives
"The future of teacher education, and K-16 and beyond education, should honor the ongoing civil rights movements toward transformative inclusion for ALL... We need teacher education programs that account for the full humanity of our students and families." — David Hernandez-Saca, assistant professor, special education
Finding the Traits to Succeed
