“This is a GREAT program – with a large, active family and a full-time job I was able to successfully do this program because of the way it was setup (schedules and tailoring of program/classes to meet individual needs). Very helpful, approachable, accessible director and faculty – it’s given me validation and a shot of new energy – thanks!”

“The Field-based Graduate Program for professional educators introduced me to a process which, when used thoughtfully and intentionally, can achieve sustainable system altering changes. The process is one that can also be taught to others through the contagious nature of its success. The results of my study have brought about powerful changes for me and my school community.”
