"Gordon’s Graduate Education Program has helped me become a more reflective learner and teacher. I have learned that it is crucial to reflect on lessons to determine what went well and what I could do differently to make improvements. It also helped me to appreciate the action research process. Teachers need to be constantly learning and deliberate in the way they research and implement strategies and techniques to be effective educators."
