UCM CPPP Program Reflection

Improved Essays
Overview
My journey through the UCM CPPP program has been very transformational. I selected this program based on positive feedback from peers. I thought a journey into an administrative role could be a distant possibility, but I was quite content in my current role in the classroom. This program completely changed my perspective.

Throughout the CPPP, I grew greatest in my ability to manage human resources and development. This is partially due to the UCM coursework and partially due to a change in my
