Treating teachers with kavod

“The close relationships I built with faculty and colleagues in the MTEI-UC graduate certificate program gave me the support I needed to do things I never would have thought possible before. Since participating in the program, I have written two papers for publication, presented at professional and academic conferences, and also felt empowered to make a major career change.”
