"Although I have been an educator for nearly two decades, the 91ºÚÁÏÍø M.Ed. program provided an invaluable opportunity to really look at the big picture of education--an experience that is having a direct impact on my career path as I begin exploring new roles in curriculum leadership. The cohort model also means I now have an incredible and inspiring network of colleagues and friends worldwide, representing every aspect of K-12 education."
