Truth & Education

Alum, NDMU Class of 2010 Education

Notre Dame's motto is about truth and the pursuit of truth. To that end, Notre Dame has taught me the irreplaceable, immutable, and incomparable value of truth and education.

Notre Dame prepared me for engagement with the educational world by inculcating my mind with the most current research and best practices in respective areas of education. The university also taught me how to be a reflective practitioner, which allows me to perform my own professional development on the way to becoming a better teacher.

What’s next: Graduate student at Notre Dame

Alum, NDMU Class of 2018 Education
NDMU has opened my eyes to people's different experiences. A lot of my classes were discussion-based, so I learned how to listen and communicate well with others, especially those who have a different life experience than me… I am looking forward to student teaching. I’m excited to start applying everything I have learned at Notre Dame and I cannot wait to create relationships with students and start planning lessons in the classroom.
