They said it!

My time in this program has surpassed my expectations. I have been able to grow so much in my professional capacities and when I compare myself to other graduate students I meet at national conferences and in other social sciences at WSU, I think we compare well and can hold our own with the strong preparation we’ve had.”

— Reponse by Ph.D. student as part of 2018 anonymous program survey

I was interested in joining the Math & Science Education program because of the intentionality and recognition of the need to work at the intersection of math and education, rather than foregrounding one and backgrounding the other. I have garnered the most from the more informal mentorship of the faculty as they have candidly reflected on their own experiences in the academy, shared unpolished work, and as we have co-authored manuscripts. Such interactions have “pulled back the curtain” on academia, making it less and less mysterious. This helps me envision myself in the academy.”

— Roxanne Moore, Mathematics and Science Education doctoral candidate

They Said It…

Masters student Amy Jacobson standing at flip chart teaching in classroom.

“My teaching was transformed by the Masters education I received at WSU.  Through the mentorship and guidance of my WSU professors, I was able to gain an in-depth understanding of powerful literacy skills and techniques with which I could immediately apply in my classroom.  Over the course of my Masters education, I watched my students, even the ones who were averse to reading, grow to be avid readers who read, shared, and discussed books with their friends.  The positive impact on my students was the most valuable thing I took from my Masters, and I couldn’t have done it without the proper guidance.”

— Amy Jacobson

They said it…

“I wanted to share I was recognized by Alabama’s School Counseling Association as the elementary counselor of the year. In my application, I wrote a lot about the national board process and how much it stretched me as a counselor. I contribute so much of that to you and how hard you pushed us to THINK.”

— Elizabeth Shaddix, in an email to Jane Oczkewicz, our National Board facilitator for ECYA COunseling
