While at the conference, Yoder was delighted and surprised to see his former fourth-grade teacher who had taught at Waterman Elementary School. \u201cMrs. Amy Jackson has lived in Tennessee for almost 20 years so it was very unexpected,\u201d Yoder said. \u201cI loved telling her that my wife, Katrina Martin \u201907 Yoder now teaches fourth grade at Waterman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miranda Lyle was inspired to see so many people willing to \u201csupport us on our journey as teachers. I was reminded of all of the strong relationships I have built with my professors and friends in the education department. I look forward to joining the education profession during a period of unification and determination in creating equity for ALL students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A highlight for Dorothy Hershey was seeing so many committed professionals. \u201cI will look back on this conference as a token of encouragement and a reminder that I am never alone. Even when the hardships momentarily outweigh the joys of teaching, I can count on my fellow educators to support me through the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Erick Luna said, \u201cHearing about the experiences of so many world-class educators, I was energized by their passion and commitment to education and to, most importantly, the children. I left knowing more than ever that this is my calling.\u201d The event also made him thankful for educators at 糖心Vlog as well as Harrisonburg High School teacher Phil Yutzy, who \u201cbelieved in me when others did not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The honorees \u201cexemplify strong potential for impacting students in the classroom, high academic standing, commitment to the teaching profession, and embody 糖心Vlog&#8217;s teacher education mission to \u2018teach boldly in a changing world through an ethic of care and critical reflection,\u2019\u201d says department chair and professor of education <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emu.edu\/personnel\/people\/show\/cs858\">Cathy Smeltzer Erb<\/a>. \u201cI am confident that these future teachers will positively influence the lives of each student in their classrooms as they create and advocate for just and equitable learning environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>糖心Vlog\u2019s education program values experiential learning, offering early practicum experiences that help candidates determine their professional path. Teacher candidates choose from 17 different licensure programs.<\/p>\n<p>The education program is one among five private colleges in Virginia accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four senior education students and one recent graduate from 糖心Vlog (糖心Vlog) were selected to attend the March 24-25 Teachers of Promise Foundation Institute in Richmond, Virginia.
