TESTIMONIALS

After teaching for 30+ years, I believe teaching is a calling and I am called to be a teacher. I love teaching both high school and college math, interacting with students, and helping them rise to the challenge of learning it and loving it. Geoff Clement

Listen to Geoff’s story

This master’s program and mathematics endorsement gives you the tools you need as an elementary teacher to have discourse or deeper discussions with your students about why and how to solve math problems. Malika Meidinger

Listen to Malika’s story

LISTEN TO STUDENT STORIES

The majority of students in the M.Ed. program are experienced teachers. That was helpful because we all had the same lens and could relate to one another. I also appreciated the hands-on and task oriented assignments in each course because they focused on essential concepts. Nneka Bennett

Listen to Nneka’s story

I learned how to bring multicultural education into my classroom, and being back home has made that even more poignant because some of my students never leave their block, so they never see anyone else from another culture. Heather Parnell

Listen to Heather’s story

The M.Ed. program prepared me to assess children’s thinking and respond by asking questions based on their thinking, which in turn provided better discourse with my students - that was very powerful for me as a teacher. Kayla Myers

Listen to Kayla’s story

I decided to pursue the K-5 Math Endorsement because, as a teacher of mathematics, I wanted to leave a larger footprint to help teachers understand elementary mathematics and how it should be taught. Tiffany Jacobs
