“In each of my classes, my professors gave me the tools and resources that I could use in the classroom. When I began my student teaching experience as a Teacher Education Fellow, I was treated like a professional as soon as I walked into the school. I had support and guidance that allowed me to become a more thoughtful teacher, advocate, and person.”
