Testimonials

"My work with Jodi (peer) over the last three years has been a wonderful partnership and a valuable lesson in the power of collaboration. Together we forged a new meaning of professionalism as we wove together our unique worldviews, perspectives on the educational process, and understandings and completion of St. Scholastica coursework while creating a lasting friendship. Since this collaboration with Jodi has fostered enormous growth for me as a student and teacher, I have tried to learn - and hopefully to contribute - by collaborating with professionals in other school commonplaces."

The compass of life can turn one in many different directions. My journey through the Curriculum and Instruction program has been one of the finest experiences in my life. I am excited to continue with my educational and professional plans and ready to expand upon my strengths and improve on my weaknesses. I enjoy exercising the skills I have gained in the program as I explore the world around me.

"Through the readings and assignments completed during these years, I have gained new insight on curriculum integration and assessment, ways to address different needs of students, as well as strategies to improve communication between students, parents, and faculty members. The past two years have given me a chance to rejuvenate my teaching style and philosophy, and I look forward to the transformations that will take place during the school years to come."

"...reflective teaching was a component of my undergraduate work. However, I needed to do more of it and at a level that was well below the surface. I realized that mindfulness and reflective practice are, like all things, improved with practice. Now, with a better understanding of reflective practice, I not only see the relationship between two things, but also truly understand in what respect they are related. I appreciate that recognition of error, with its resulting uncertainty, can become a source of discovery rather than an occasion for self-defeat."

"I found the program to be a very valuable asset to my teaching career and appreciate the professionalism of the staff, the relevance of the materials and the flexibility of the program. I am the principal of a Catholic school and found the fact that I could work during the day and study at night without leaving my home or my family very appealing."

"I have heard many times that education is something no one can take away from you. The Curriculum and Instruction program has made that quote real for me and encouraged me to think and stretch and create in a way that undergraduate school did not. It was during these past two years that I learned to think clearly."

"Reflecting back to the time just prior to my venture into the Curriculum and Instruction program, I would have described my teaching as complaisant. I was comfortable with what I taught and how I taught it and content to continue teaching the same curriculum in the same fashion. This program has inspired me to emerge from my complacency. The information presented was revitalizing. I would thus describe my professional growth with 3 Rs: review, reflection, and rejuvenation."
