"I teach at Wesley because I get to work in a small progressive teacher education program. Because our faculty values collaborative work, and are philosophically aligned in belief and practice, we are able to design ever-evolving programs that are connected through a common vision. This makes a difference in the quality of teacher candidates and advanced candidates we prepare in our undergraduate and graduate programs." |
