Jean-Marie Reader

“This program has encouraged me to take a step back and think about education on a higher, more global level. It had been a while since I last took a graduate level course, and I am reminded about how much I truly enjoy learning. Many of the issues we have researched and read about can be readily applied to all students, not only the gifted and talented. I am inspired to continue to reach all of my students and provide creative, thought-provoking learning opportunities. Additionally, I have enjoyed the varied and eclectic nature of the assignments. I know I will borrow some of the ideas and apply them for my own students. Although this program is on-line, my professors and fellow students have created a warm and supportive learning environment. I know I will be a more effective teacher, and my students will reap the benefit. Thank you for offering such a rewarding and enriching experience.”
