Alumni Stories
Nicole Aoki 鈥20, 鈥淢y professors were able to cater to my individual needs as a student teacher, and they knew me well enough to pair me with a cooperating teacher who complemented my teaching style. Additionally, the courses I took during the credential program were relevant to what I experienced in student teaching. With extensive knowledge about the Common Core State Standards and with the practice of lesson planning during the credential program, I felt better prepared with the rest of my responsibilities in the classroom.鈥
Kelly Vivanco 鈥23, 鈥淭he professors very intentionally invest in you not just as a student or future educator but as a whole person. I was deeply impacted not just by the way they taught me pedagogy but also in the way they inspired me in my core teaching philosophies.鈥
Kayla Monson 鈥19, 鈥満诹习倏柒檚 Credential Program is rich in practical application, relevant teaching strategies, and in preparing teaching candidates for the realities of the classroom. During my credential year, I received hands-on tools and experience through my ED courses, various field sites, observing my cooperating teachers, and through one-on-one mentoring from professors who observed and advised my teaching. One of the most meaningful aspects of my experience was completing the two-week take over in a 4th grade classroom. This was the best way to prepare me for what to expect as I entered a full-time teaching position. 黑料百科鈥檚 teaching program was a wonderful blessing and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to become a teacher.鈥
