Some Comments from Our Students “The quality of the CTE courses and teachers is outstanding. The information and ideas generated in my New School CTE coursework was instantly applicable to the real world of my classroom. There is a consistent message throughout The New School CTE program: that the emphasis must be on students learning, not simply on a teacher teaching. ” --Ian C. Blair, 2008 “I am returning to school as a mature adult with other degrees but a desire to start a new page in my work life. I have found the classes in the certificate program to be challenging, exciting as well as practical. The program is efficiently well-designed to turn out effective and enthusiastic teachers. ” --Ann Sparanese 2008 “I love the program, the teachers are engaging and extremely knowledgeable, the work is challenging but doesn’t overwhelm. I’ve made some new friends, I love teaching ESL students and I’m very pleased with the experience of being part of The New School community. ” --Dorothea Colligan, 2008 “I ’m extremely pleased with The New School’s program. The teaching is first rate and I feel I got real practical experience through the intensive student teaching. ” --Judith Gottfried, 2008 “I ’ve used a lot of what I learned already in my work here at Scholastic. It has helped me so much in my job, making me more valuable to my team. The whole program is great.... ” --Tina Posner, 2004 (editor, Scholastic, Inc.) “The Practicum in Poland provides a unique opportunity to teach in a foreign country within a structured and supportive environment. You don’t have to hassle over all the logistics as you would if you opted to work abroad on your own. This frees you to focus on your preparation and your students. We were given excellent instruction, and personal, constructive feedback. My students were bright, enthusiastic and eager to learn about New York. We had a wonderful time together and I feel it was an invaluable experience, not to mention that it’s a great addition to my ELT resume. ” -- Robin Poley, 2009
