They let me apply my knowledge and build confidence. I enjoyed connecting with students, watching their growth, and experiencing different grade levels. The College of Education staff had a huge positive influence on my experience. They were always supportive and willing to do whatever was needed to help us succeed. Overall, the program was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend.”
