“I had heard so many stories about master’s programs that are just busy work that you do simply to move up the salary scale. This program has not been like that at all. Every assignment, every reading, has genuinely made me a better teacher. I love attending class because I know that we will have engaging conversations about some of the most important topics in education.”
