Hear from Your Peers

The Art of Teaching program was a wonderful experience! The online/hybrid options made it easy for me to balance work, family, and school. Each class I took was so insightful and contained a good balance of theory and practice. The readings provided me with solid background information, while the assignments gave me the opportunity to connect this knowledge with my experiences and think about how I would apply it in the classroom. My professors did a great job bringing the textbooks ‘to life’ and had so much expertise in the field that I was able to learn from. Dr. Kamyab was especially supportive from beginning to end. Thank you, Cedar Crest, for helping me ‘soar ahead!’
