Experienced Professors
“Most of my professors were public school teachers themselves. They would open up about their own experiences, ideas, lesson plans, and issues. It made what we were learning about applicable in the ‘here and now.”
Shaylee McComb is an elementary music specialist at Weaver Elementary School in Maplewood, MN.
