TESTIMONIALS
"This program is AMAZING. Every aspect of this program from the coursework, to the classes, to the advisors and instructors was created with the intent of building and supporting quality teachers. I would highly recommend this program to anyone considering a career in education!"
~ Kayla S.
"The Excellence in Teaching Program was exactly what I was looking for in an alternative path to teaching licensure: feasible, rigorous, and practical. The instructors were highly supportive, and the program prepared me for a successful teaching career."
~ Matt N.
"I loved this program and the support it gave to me in my first full year of teaching. The coursework helped prepare me for real-life situations that I would encounter on a daily basis in the school setting."
~ Alli B.
"I didn't know if I really wanted to teach - even as I applied for jobs and eventually for this course - but the passion and joy that CESA brought to my life and the positivity around the profession has made teaching the easiest decision of my life. I couldn't be happier to have taken the path I did - it led me to a great position and to a course that, if I'm being honest, feels more substantial than the education courses my friends all took in college."
~ Brevin P.
