“A significant part of who I am as an educator today is highly influenced by my experience as a student in the education program at TFC. The professors truly invested in me holistically, not just as a future educator, but as a leader and an individual who needed growth and guidance. Eight years into teaching, I still implement the learning practices that I gleaned from this program on a daily basis. From the way I cultivate my classroom learning environment, to the way I build intentional relationships with my students, I continue to lean on the knowledge and experience from this program.”
