Reflection of Me

I have always been interested in education and, after completing my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in teaching. However, I also recognized that there was a lot that I didn't know about the field of education and, specifically, how to effectively improve education at the PK-12 level. This program seems like the perfect opportunity for me to learn more about education and how to be an effective educational leader. Additionally, I am particularly interested in the research component of this program as it will allow me to investigate existing educational practices and develop new approaches to improve education. Ultimately, I hope to use my knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on the field of education.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to improving education for all students, with a particular focus on those from disadvantaged backgrounds. I have also been active in teacher professional development. I believe that it is important for educators to continue educating themselves and not just their students. Everybody needs to keep learning because this is how we maintain our momentum and our drive.

It is this interest in continuing my education and in PK-12 education policy that has led me to pursue an advanced degree in PK-12 education. I believe that this degree will give me the knowledge and skills necessary to make a positive impact on education policy at the local, state, and national levels. I am particularly interested in working to improve access to quality education for all students, regardless of their background or economic status. I believe that all students deserve an excellent education, and I am committed to working toward that goal.
