    Master’s Class Assignments Make Impact in His Classroom

    “Almost every assignment in each of my graduate classes thus far has helped me grow professionally. I am able to apply the new knowledge, whether relating to diversity, special education, research, or technology, to my own high school classroom on a daily basis.”

    Enrich your community by improving your skills

    As a teacher, you must continue to progress if you wish to remain effective in the community and at your school. Some say that teaching or leading in an administrative position is not a job, but a calling. When you answer the call, you not only help children but also assist parents, who understand the importance of learning.
