The Primary Education (P-5) provided me with an exceptional foundation to begin a career in the ever-changing field of education. Both personally and professionally, this program trained my way of thinking and helped me to develop a teaching philosophy rooted in inquiry and striving for equity and inclusion. In a profession where so much of your heart is on display, I am forever grateful for the professors and colleagues that challenged my previously held perceptions, provided diverse perspectives, listened to my self-perceived shortcomings, and ultimately offered encouragement for how to move forward in the best interest of my students.
