Testimonials
Testimonials From Students In The Master Of Education Program
“This M.Ed. program is cutting edge and innovative. It is based on experiential learning and collaboration: the faculty live and breathe collaboration, exemplifying it through their teaching. We have learned the fundamental learning theories, how to perform research in teaching and learning, how teaching is a political act, and through our learning, we are empowered to be agents of change in our contexts. Not only have I learned how to better help my students in my own classroom, but I have learned how to broaden my scope to help students around the world.”
“This master’s degree has truly opened my eyes to the potential that every student has locked up within them. As a Grenadian, I grew up hearing the words ‘bright’ and ‘dunce’, and I unwittingly transferred this into my role as an educator. However, this degree has helped my to be mindful about decolonizing my classroom and promoting 100% student learning.”
Testimonials From Colleagues of Students in the Master of Education Program
“My colleague’s involvement in the M.Ed. has enhanced her reflective/reflexive areas of development. She values the need for introspection and the understanding and appreciation of diversity. For this colleague collecting new experiences is just half the equation; she is aware of the need to also make sense of this valued information that will most likely open up new possibilities.”
“My colleague has always been passionate about reforming our education system but the plan of action to facilitate the reform is now more visible. Discussions of her observations, class discussions and course material are often core points of numerous office conversations and planning.”
“I think this program has made my colleague a more thoughtful educator and thus more impactful. I think that her students have benefited a lot from the experience she is gaining. Students success benefits the school and reflects well on the department.”
