Student feedback
“I’ve learned a lot! I am so happy with Professor Lori, as she does an awesome job at helping and explaining everything. It’s just helped me work more with children in every way.” (ECED&105 Introduction to Early Childhood Education)
“Lori is a great instructor. I’m required by the state to have a certificate in Early Childhood Education. I have to admit, because of my age I was a bit intimidated. Once the classes began, I really enjoyed the content Lori shared and found it to be quite helpful. A person can always learn something new, no matter how long you've been in your profession.” (ECED&105 Introduction to Early Childhood Education)
“The most valuable thing about my experience in this course is the conversations between Professor Lori and my classmates, and the increase in my knowledge.” (ECED&105 Introduction to Early Childhood Education)
“I learned a lot from Lori’s class that I didn’t know before, such as being there for my students and families who come from different backgrounds, by making them feel welcomed and that they have all types of support available that I can give to them.” (ECED201 Multicultural Education)
“Great class! I can apply right away what I have learned to my classroom I am working in right now. This class is very important to learning how to teach children about social and emotional learning (SEL) these days, because of more behavior issues we have to deal with as teachers.” (ECED&130 Guiding Behaviors)
