It warms my heart to realize that I made an individual day simpler for them, by helping them do basic things like getting dressed, picking where they might want to go in the group, helping them to be autonomous and not be dealt with like they are awkward.

Teaching requires training, feedback, and constant revision. I not only agree with her position, I also believe it is the foundation of what a teacher preparation program should offer. The Master’s program at UW is best situated to provide me that opportunity.…

    Life experiences, both personal and academic have shaped my strong belief in the accessibility of higher education to all students. The societal benefits associated with attaining a higher education are undeniable it is disappointing there are such striking inequalities in who is granted access to college.

This student was usually upper middle class, white; having little or no behavioral or mental health issues and excelled in academics. Conversely, students of color, low income, behaviorally challenged and those struggling academically are not given the tools to pursue higher education.…
