"I started this program in MEd Reading to gain a better understanding of literacy education and hone in on techniques for teaching reading to my elementary students. What I did not expect was the sincere relationships with professors and peers, pleasure in research, and the extensive background of knowledge I have already gained in teaching/coaching. Having the ability to confer with professors and peers about our readings and research- in class and online- has created strong relationships and meaningful discussions."
