What has been the highlight of your program thus far? Maybe not the most exciting answer, but I was a paralegal for 5 years between undergrad and grad school so I really felt I needed to build a good education theory foundation. Peabody's curriculum and professors have done exactly that and I feel significantly more grounded in my instructional approach.
