Time Well Spent

At least three deeply felt learnings from this program

Being a part of the Walden family has meant so much to me over the past two years.  I have grown so much educationally. This program has taught me about so much about being an educator.  I know that when you feel passionate about something that it is important to research it first. You need to make sure you do all the research so that you can advocate for your cause effectively. I have also realized that adults and children learn in very similar ways. Sometimes you have to treat one like the other.  You may have to use a variety of strategies to keep their attention and help them.

At least one long-term goal

With all that I have learned from this program I hope to use the skills that I have learned to become an effective leader. I hope to open my own childcare center and become a director that uses the skills that I have learned in this program to lead my staff. I also hope that before I own a childcare center that I will become an instructional specialist in my current school system and also use the skills that I learned to lead the my co-workers effectively.

A farewell message to your Instructor and colleagues (

I would like to say good bye and thank you to all of my colleagues. Many of you have been with me since the very first class. We have all grown and learned so much together and from each other. I have appreciated all the comments and criticism over the past two years.  I will miss you all. I wish everyone the best of luck on everything you will accomplish in your lives both personally and professionally.

To Dr. Morgan I appreciate all the life lessons that you have taught me not only in this last class but in previous. I thank you for being honest with me and helping me become a better person and student. You have encouraged me to do better. Thank you for all that you have done.
