Teachers, you are the champions of persistence, patience, and possibility. Your dedication to meeting every student where they are and helping them grow, step by step, makes a world of difference. Thank you for showing up each day with heart and hope. #TeacherAppreciationWeek
ALT Thank you! Teacher Appreciation Week.
Celebrating grad students’ week and this is what our faculty had to say about our students!!
They represent a true cross section of Special Educators who are passionate about advocating for children and youth with disabilities through the promotion of evidence-based practices
They understand the importance of empirical research in promoting practices, systems, and policies whose skill sets match or exceed leading Special Education programs across the nation.
I admire their resilience and willingness to take on challenges
