“I feel very prepared in my current teaching position thanks to everything I have learned and experienced at Marist! I feel confident with the teaching pedagogy and teaching experience that Marist allowed me to obtain. In one reading placement course, we had to create a goal for a real student, and then work with them for 30 minutes every week to try to meet the reading goal. Although this was challenging, it was very rewarding seeing all of our hard work planning lessons for our student pay off!”
