14. TESTIMONIALS

15. 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.

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

16. 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
